Any windows on that tent for displaying a valid CRT / EA licence?

“For that cosy feel”??
My arthritis started playing up just looking at it!

The only time you want to be in something like that is while waiting for an helicopter with a nice friendly winch man to come along - even then I bet you’d rather be somewhere else!

over the last 60 or so years I have been in just about every form of water craft from dinghies to 70,000 tonners in all sorts of weather and I have only been seasick once. That was doing survival raft training on a flat calm summers day off Southend Pier.
Normally, however much my inner ear might be telling me everything is moving my eyes can see fixed points which over rides that and convinces my brain that it's not really moving.
In the dinghy I was fine when the doors were open and I could see the horizon to give my eyes a fixed point but when the doors were closed, with the whole contraption flexing everywhich way, I was instantly and violently sick.

I nearly drowned in one of those. I had been pulled on board, but a guy was standing on my head as proceeded pull the rest of the "survivors" onboard. My head was in a pool of water on the floor. |

I mean, was it unintentional because of tunnel vision on the task in hand ....... or did he not like you  |
