But now every festival goers pet hate, is a whole lot simpler thanks to the self pitching tent - a tent that goes from packed to pitched in just two seconds.

This miracle in tarpaulin works thus - just toss it in the air and watch it magically assemble as a readymade tent. Although, don’t toss it too high or you’re self pitching tent could become a self flying tent.

Quibbles aside, the self pitching tent has been lab tested to ensure durability and water protection but the real question is can it’s double roof and polyethylene ground sheet cope with the combined noxious body and foot odours emitted from a cluster of unwashed students. I doubt it.
