The advanced feature designed intorepparttar Range Tent isrepparttar 133761 wayrepparttar 133762 canvas is cut, creating a para-wing design where it is connected torepparttar 133763 floor. This upward arc keepsrepparttar 133764 canvas from touchingrepparttar 133765 wet ground and eliminatesrepparttar 133766 need for center staking. The seam here is double sewn, not simply bound, and this allows water to flow over, not intorepparttar 133767 seam.

Dave makes three sizes: 8’ square & 7’ tall; 10’ square & 8’ tall; and 12’ square & 9’ tall. The 10’ range tent isrepparttar 133768 most common and ecominical.

With D-rings attached on three walls, you can increaserepparttar 133769 inside space by pulling outrepparttar 133770 walls. The door is zippered shut with a #10 nylon coil zipper that is concealed with a 2.5” weather flap. Snap hooks are sewn intorepparttar 133771 inside to hang a lantern. This tent looks really cool lit up at night.

Bedrolls —

Bedrolls arerepparttar 133785 cowboy suitcase. When “Buckwheat” gathered up his worldly possessions and tied them to a stick in a canvas table cloth, he was conceptualizing a cowboy bedroll. If there ever was a useful tool inrepparttar 133786 wilderness it would be a sheet of canvas. The military’s version focuses more on sleeping and less on tarping, unless we're talking about tarping while sleeping through a rain storm.
