>>1044811I am trying to make a tent for a hike in the arctic, but I think I have given up. I leave in two days, and the original tent was ruined by my cat, the second concept tent is too small, and I don't know if I have it in me to make a third tent tomorrow. I don't know how to sew, I started sewing for the first time in my life two weeks ago. I taught myself, and I am not good at it. but try it, it is WAY cheaper, kinda fun, and you can get stuff that is WAY lighter than what you can buy. But that bug shelter in your pic costs $40 ish bucks, not a bad deal.
let me give you some words of wisdom:
>silnylon makes a good rainfly>Don't use silnylon for the tent floor, it is too frail. my cat walked across it and the silnylon was full of holes.> I recommend that you buy the bug bivy and then sew a rainfly for it out of silnylon.> ripstopbytheroll . com is where I got all my fabric and stuff
