Tent repair

After my last camping trip with friends to the Bruce Peninsula, I opened up the tent and dried it out on the patio in my backyard.  I accidentally punctured the floor of the tent.  I was thinking of simply using duck tape to patch the bottom and top side of the floor but it's probably not going to last and it would be messy.  The dust tape will pick up dirt and will probably not last too long.

I found a website that has a bunch of repair tips for tents:  http://www.mcnett-outdoor.com/repair-guide/tents/220.aspx

I'll sure try my seam sealer that I bought for the Ozark Trail tent to patch up the floor of this Outdoor Works Summit tent.

I will wait until spring to do this.  I won't be using this tent for winter camping and it's kinda wet and cold outside now.

Hammock resources

I ran across this one website that covers many aspects of hammock camping.  I thought I'd share the link in case anyone else might be interested in the subject and for my own future reference:
