seam sealing tape At the point when weight is a worry you would imagine that the less the quantity of shafts the better, however that isn't really so. Posts are, generally, what gives your tent it's auxiliary uprightness. A tent with too not many shafts will be shaky. Quite a while back I went outdoors with some stone climbers. We set up a tent in a knoll that appeared to be wonderful at that point. During the night a tempest came up and it was ideal to lie there tuning in to the downpour patter on the tent. Notwithstanding, as the night went on the breeze developed further, and we before long had the tent bowed directly over on head of us.

We contemplated for around two seconds getting up, repairing the post and setting the tent again in obscurity, storming heavily and twist, yet chose, to hell with it! We dozed the rest of the night with the tent on head of us, warm and dry and sensibly agreeable.
