    Tents are cheap: www.aussiedisposals.com.au/…/dome-tents.html

    $40. And these tents likely won’t survive multiple uses anyway.

    They are still grubs for leaving them behind.

        What if we just move the tents outside the environment?

      I’ve had a dome tent for nearly a decade and it still works fine. It’s not my go to tent but it is easy to use.

      It probably cost $50 new.

        I too have a tent I bought for 40$, lasted me 8 treks, 36 nights, still going strong. Although I haven’t trekked in 3 years due to life. But the tent is still fine last I checked a year ago.

        The equivalent tent nowadays would be $600-$1200

        The bottom end is taken over by crap that I wouldn’t let my dog sleep in and the top end are for prosumer/competitive cross country hikers.

        Mid range pricing is either cheap crap (rebranded by scammers) or last years model or expensive product.

        This relates to camping equipment and also hardware and electronics.

        I’m guessing (given you have at least 2 tents) you’re treating it properly and taking care of it though, which inebriated festival goers probably aren’t.

        And $50 a decade ago bought you a much better tent than today, there is some absolute garbage out there now.
