I found one of my family tent poles is broken. How to fix that?


Answer
The easier way to fix the tent poles is to use tent pole repair sleeves. You should count your broken tent poles then go to a sporting goods store and buy as many sleeves as you have broken tent poles. Slip the tent pole repair sleeve over the broken tent pole, and wrap duct tape around the top and bottom of the sleeve to further secure it in place.

If you are not able to find a tent repair sleeve in the nearby store, you can go to a hardware store and buy some aluminum roof flashing and nylon clamps. These things can also help you to fix the tent poles. You need to cut the aluminum flashing to size with tin snips and wrap it around the broken sections of the tent pole. After that, put clamps at the top and bottom of the sleeve you have created to secure it in place. At last, you need to wrap the aluminum flashing with duct tape to cover any sharp edges.

where can i get the right cylinder tent stove?

Q. i want to buy a cylinder stove for camping. one that goes inside the tent. good for cooking, and keeping things warm. all the ones i have looked at are in a wall tent. i just have a good old family camping tent without a hole in the top for the chimney.

do i need a wall tent for a cylinder stove?
is there a specific type of cylinder stove i can purchase that does not require a stove?


Answer
The cylinder tent stoves are designed for wall tents with proper venting and heat a tent by radiating heat from it. All the fumes are exhausted out the chimney. A regular walmart type of tent would not work with it. Also using fuel powered heaters in tents are dangerous they produce carbon monoxide gas and burn up oxygene, the combination will kill you. there are plenty of ways to stay warm through proper equipment, insulation and diet here is a link to winter camping info,
