old tents...use?

[Bushcraftsman]

Hey guys...

I was hoping someome could provide some ideas. I have a couple of old two man tents that never get used anymore. So what can I make out of them? Any idea is a valid one!

 

[Mesquite]

What is the material they're made from?

 

[uncleboob]

....stuff sacks?

 

[Squidders]

A kite.
A load of stuff sacks.
Gaiters.
Ponchos.
A water carrier / shopping bag.

The options are numerous.

...i was thinking of making a foraging sack out of an old (canvas) tent i've got in the garage...making a kite's a good idea

I've still got the tent my Dad bought me in 1950 because I haven't worked out what to do with it yet. Take your time, you may think of some in 60 or so years!

use it for canvas and paint something, even if it's no good, it's an experience.

 

[monkey boy]

Mil bank bags, pouches, ground sheets

If they're in good working order what about donating them to local scout group?

 

[milius2]

Pass them on to me and I would be making this in no time:

If not, then maybe they make for a good sack for pots, they usually very dirty
