Re: Bringing my Vintage Cotton Tent, how to make it dust proof?
Buy a cheap tent from craigslist. One that completely zippers closed. Wax the zippers with bike chain wax (not grease). Cut an old sheet to fit the mesh openings of the tent, hot glue around the edges of the windows. close the zipper every time you leave the tent. Buy a second tent for storage. Sle...

Re: Bringing my Vintage Cotton Tent, how to make it dust proof?
I agree with ALL of this. There is no practical way to make this tent dust or rain proof, let alone wind proof. Anything you do attempt will likely be blown away and you'll create moop, or worse--someone will be injured by flying debris. I use a Springbar tent now for 14 years and it's holding up r...

Re: Bringing my Vintage Cotton Tent, how to make it dust proof?
In modern tent marketing naming for new tents, you want a 4-season tent or Winter expedition tent. They have sealed vents. Many people love canvas Springbar-style tents with sealed vents and a sealed floor. The high tech Shiftpod, invented by a friend, is an ice fishing shelter with a floor. Anothe...

Re: Bringing my Vintage Cotton Tent, how to make it dust proof?
A vintage tent, or more precisely a vintage canopy, without and integrated floor … … that there is the problem. A tent canopy like that may give you shelter from a sprinkle of rain and some privacy, but that’s it. It will very likely be a dust-trap - winds driving dust through the gaps at ground le...

Bringing my Vintage Cotton Tent, how to make it dust proof?
Hi all! 8) Due to the RV rental prices this year :shock:, I'm looking into the option to bring my own vintage cotton tent (the ESVO Mohawk). I would love some help on making it dust proof! What I'm looking for is a way to keep the dust out of (at least) the sleeping cabin . The things I came up with...

Re: Profile thinks I still have DGS tickets
Unless you can get tickets from another person, you bought your allotment of tickets and now you are out of the regular sale. I'm not sure why you gave up your tickets and put them in someone elses name. The DGS is just a conduit to get tickets. They are not associated with a particular camp, altho...

Profile thinks I still have DGS tickets
Hi there, I had DGS tickets this year. Due to personal reasons I'm traveling with different people then I thought to BM. So I decided to give the DGS tickets back to the camp because i'll be going with friends who are in a different camp. So, I just transferred the tickets out of my ticketfly accoun...
