[TheForge] Demo tents

[Saint Phlip]

Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm building, except mine will be a bit
larger, since that's the size of the tarp I found at Harbor Freight
;-) It's an 11" 4" X 23'4" tarp, so the shelter will be 8 ft high, 11'
4" wide, and about 16 ft long. I'm thinking I'll have room for a cot
and clothing for camping events- I'll likely post a picture for you
guys once I get it set up. Currently trying to get a 12 ft hardwood 2"
X 4" for the ridge pole- Home Despot wants $60, and I figure I can do
better at a local sawmill, if I can just catch the guy ;-)

I've never had any problem with the fire getting anywhere close to the tent (which might be 6' above the fire).  Using coke helps to keep the neighboring vendors happy.  Try to stay down wind from the clothing vendors.

Hit it hard
Repent as necessary.
