I think they got a kick out of that, a bunch of 11 and 12 year olds, teaching me stuff.
#Tetragon 1210 tent how to#
The guys got done what they needed to do, I showed them how to do some cooking things, and they taught me how to use an axe and a hatchet. So what I'd like to know is, don't rain flies come with water proofing stuff on them already when you buy them most of the time? If so, how often do you need to re-do the water proofing (does it wear off?) And maybe more importantly, what works well for waterproofing, because obviously mine needs it.Īlthough it was a pretty wet morning we still had a good time. I guess I'm glad it didn't start raining in the middle of the night! There is one small hole in the fly in the plastic "window" but that wasn't the issue - water was dripping through the entire fly. By the time I took my tent down, water was just dripping straight through into the tent. And I discovered that my rain fly? It isn't water proof. (They needed a second adult for 2 deep leadership and I was free.) Well at about 6 this morning it started to rain. I may do a little more camping next year, now that my son is older and secure enough in his position in the troop that he doesn't see it as an intrusion.īut anyway, last night I went along on a one-night camp with some of our guys who needed to finish up some rank requirements before our CoH.

And I've been very lucky in that every time I've done so, the weather has been nice. I don't camp that often with the troop - a couple times a year so far. OK I have what is probably a "newbie" question but I would appreciate your help when you're done smirking and shaking your heads.
