I possibly either need you to help me or to tell me I'm insane, and to stop.
We bought a tent at a car boot sale thinking it would be a easier alternative to our 8-man Khyam for shorter breaks, but it didn't really work out well. Well, it blew over, to put it bluntly.
It's not a resaleable make - v odd, Chinese, doesn't show up anywhere on Google. Dh thinks more guy ropes and pegs will help, but I wonder if we can trust it again.
I could just shove it on freecycle and write it off, but then I had this idea that maybe I could cut it up and make it into a tarp? You know, like this one? I mean, how hard can that be, right?
Can anyone tell me roughly how big their tarps are, and how they work? and then I can work out if this is a practical, genius recycling plan or a work of madness that will reduce me and my tent to shreds?
