I finally solved the hot tent problem.

Now I prefer my canvas tent, since it does not get hot in the sun. I don't like a portable greenhouse!

But here is my weekend tent. I had the idea of tying my thick poncho over it as a sunshade; worked a treat!

Do I recognise that hedgerow Tengu? It looks mighty familiar

Such a simple idea

It was at this years Stainsby festival.

I didn't see you there, Stu. Were you hiding?

I don't know what to say!?

 

[Tengu]

Connecting the threads? I don't get the joke

I thought it might have been. I was away working all weekend mate, but it sounds like I missed a good one, will plan better next year

Cheers,

Stuart.

Ill see you next year then.

I've got a silver survival blanket thing I do use as a sun shade tarp, but due to another thread was thinking about using it in the future as insulation in cold. To use it in bad weather will take a bit more adjustment as its flimsy and pitches as an overtarp with 4 pieces of string tied at the corners .

one of the ways recommended for Desert to keep a tent area cooler is to put a second skin over it with an airgap of 4 " or so

Such a simple idea, it would never have crossed my mind
