Choosing the right tent is like choosing the right topping for your toast. It may seem simple, but then you are given options (and options within options!) - jam or marmalade (shredded or shredless?), marmite or vegemite (oh, I didn't realise there was a difference!), peanut butter (crunchy or smooth?) or cream cheese (have you seen the options in a New York Deli)?

Its the classic tale of a little blue engine, who despite his size, succeeds in taking the train over seemingly-impossible terrain, by repeating the mantra "I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.”

In martial arts, they say it takes a lifetime to become a master - to transcend the art form. It comes from years and years of repetition - practising the same moves again and again until it becomes clockwork. Smooth. Precise. Seemingly effortless.
