Hi all, I'm wondering if a kind soul could offer me some advice on pitching my newly acquired polish Lavvu?
I'm fairly new to bushcraft and indeed this forum but as i prepare for my first camp during the may bank holiday, I've spent a lot of time reading lavvu reviews on this forum and thought I'd give one a try.
So I've buttoned it all together and have tried pitching it in the garden, I was very happy with the size of the tent so the next task was to test it for water resistance! This is where it went a bit wrong, as my wife showered the lavvu with the watering can I found that some water was coming in via the peak where the two hoods cover the pole. Esseentially there's a small gap at the first button where the two hoods overlap each other. I've not heard anyone complain of any issues in this regard (mostly its about what way round to pitch the lavvu!) so I'm left wondering if there's a technique that I'm not aware of?
Most grateful for any advice on offer.
