I used my bike to make a tent

« on: November 18, 2018, 09:54:18 PM »

0.7 oz/yd2 membrane and only three tent pegs and very fast to set up
wondering if I should cat cut the edges?
string/line under the ridge line works as a clothesline and to support the head of my bivy sack

Is that pretty tight? Like will wind be an issue?

don't know yet
regular tent pegs would not work in a wind
there are more guy out points though
but as with my old tarp, ground cloth, when its really windy, all I could do is roll up in it making a human burrito
I was mainly thinking about a really quick to set up rain shelter and not spending 10 minutes getting soaked looking for just the right trees
