I know we are a bit late on this, but happy birthday Colin! You are a fantastic supporter of POET and we really appreciate what you do for us and for the wider outdoor community. Hope you had a beautiful day and enjoyed that delicious looking cake!
Dad jokes, well wishes, cake from The River Kitchen, and presents - it was all on at Trek 'n' Travel this morning as Colin's friends came round to celebrate. We captured a bit of the action.
Hooray for #internationalyouthday tomorrow!
They are why we do it....

There’s nothing we love more than hearing from past POET students; there’s a big wide world out there and often after leaving school, students disappear into it and we never really know how they get on. So of course, we were thrilled when Jonathan Renata Smith got in touch to let us know how the …

3 weeks ago · 1Kiley LewisBeing a scout mum with 6 scouting kids. One 4 man tent doesnt cut and half us have to sleep in the back of the car so would love another tent for the 3 eldest boys to share.
3 weeks ago · 1Jordyn ShieldsKerry-Lee Webber needs this because she's such a loving & giving person who has no problem being our 3rd wheel on our lil geeky camping trips...but the issue is she doesn't have a tent and this is a perfect tent for her and her king size air bed 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
3 weeks agoAdos FriarI have taken over my husband's phone while he isn't looking he deserves this so much our now four year old daughter was diagnosed with cancer nearly a year to the day ago and it has been absolute hell we have been between Gisborne and Auckland for chemo and surgery and the fight isn't over yet. My husband came with us when he could but there are times we he couldn't or can't as we needed him to go to work to keep our family afloat and going. It has been hard on him having to stay behind. Now things have slowed down a little he deserves to do more of what he loves which is hunting but his two man tent leaks and we can't afford a new one so this would be perfect! Hope he doesn't mind I took over his phone thanks heaps Erin Friar...for you Ados Friar
3 weeks ago · 2Heather HallgarthI nominate Ados Friar too for the same reason their family has been through hell and back and it's not over. Xxx
3 weeks agoAlicia VeenstraIt's time to let my boy's have their own tent and not be cooped up with me ! For them to experience the feeling of omg we can do this on our own now ! Sherie Betts Julie-anne Dunn
3 weeks ago · 1Samantha WilsonI'd love a tent for my family so we can start making some camping memories of our own
3 weeks ago · 1Shania Mohammed-BukshFamily coming over from Fiji, would be nice to have more people to accomodate in this awesome tent... 😀
3 weeks ago · 1Charlotte PaulSo if i was to win this, it would not be for me as such, more you son, who is not getting any smaller has ADHD and needs his own space to be able to calm down and relax and seriously what kid will want to share a tent with their parents when they get older. i know that i would not of wanted too, so this would be amazing for when we go camping (a yearly thing during January) that my son and probably a mate of his could sleep in and be their own little domain away from annoying Little sister. and as we have a Kiwi Camping tent already and love it, we would love to have the same brand but smaller tent too (great brand and easy to use would not go anywhere else now). Thank you so much for the chance, and Good luck everyone else. 🙂 🤞
3 weeks ago · 1Ruby SandsSo I can take it to jamboree in January! I really can't take my family's five man tent!!
3 weeks ago · 1Michelle WallaceBecause I have two daughters who are involved in Girl Guiding ... this tent would be VERY useful to them both!
