Dear me, the fake news spread by Trouw and specifically the desk reporter is that the tent was found near were the kayak was found. A tent was not found where the kayak was found.
The tent was found in the Bodø area, it had been there for about three weeks ~ while AK had been staying in hotels ~ and the tent did not belong to Arjen Kamphuis.
At that time, it was not known that Arjen had a foldable kayak with him, it was thought he might have gotten into trouble while hiking, and the search concentrated on a missing hiker.
There are more post by MSM about the mention of a tent,here is one from panorama september 12,2018 (one day earlier then the article of Trouw)
Spullen Arjen Kamphuis gevonden
Metro news reports also about a tent that probably has been there for 3 weeks
September 6,2018
"At that moment is not known if the orange tent of Kamphuis is or not."
Vermissing Kamphuis: Dit is wat we weten

"The police informed us that the tent found was
probably not from Arjen. They are still busy with tracing his Phone."
-So Arjen Kamphuis went in the beginning of August to Norway (the tent has been there for 3 weeks ,according to some news items)
- The police received a report from a fisherman who had seen things floating in the sea near the Kvænflåget mountain in the north of Norway,also around that time other items were found.
The tent was found in Lofoten islands in a county called Vågan - you have to take boat or coastal express out from Bodø for several hours and is a place most tourists go to when they are staying in Bodø. Perfect for hiking and paddling and surch activities, and lots of tourists. This article:
https://www.lofotposten.no/rorvika/...med-kostbart-utstyr-onsker-tips/s/5-29-412781 mention AK, NOT because it is believed to be his tent but because he is the only person missing in this police district NOW. I guess the journalist have seen it and thought it could be his since he is mentioned in the article.
Since the police is thight-lipped, and usually the norwegian police is I guess it is up to journalists to speculate. No norwegian newspaper have mention the ping close where the kayak was found, beside vg.no who have translated the article ZaZara mentioned from Allgemein Dagblad. Since the police themself is not doing the search but The Coast Guard does I would think the police still research other possibilities, while the search happen.
Could it be that Arjen set up the tent,if he had plans to stay & enjoy in Nature. Leaving some survival items behind in that tent and took his personal items with him when he wanted to hike or kayaking,like ID,mobile, laptop etc etc"
The police want tips after a tent of content has been found abandoned on Rørvikstranda in Vågan. The tent should have been on the beach for about three weeks before it was retrieved by the police in Svolvær Wednesday.
"We have not received any tips on the matter. There is not much else we can do than to hope that someone who has information about who owns the tent or has seen something is contacting, tells
police chief of the Svolvær police station, Ketil Finstad-Steira, adding that all information in the case is desirable.
- If anyone has observed whether there is a male or female, or if there has been more than one person in the tent, we would like to know it.Inside the orange tent was found a inflatable mattress of the branded Exped, climbing equipment, a book by American writer Tom Wolfe, a large kitchen, a folding solar panel, wet wipes and sunglasses."
As described before by friends,he hiked before and bought a kayak He was known for not taking risks or being a dare devil,very technical with a lot of knowledge for devices…
