I noticed there is a tear in my canvas camping tent. Can it be fixed? How to do that?
Answer
1. Sew the sides of the damaged area together. This is similar to sewing clothing, except that thick canvas may require a large needle or awl and heavy duty or waxed string. These materials are available at outdoor specialty stores.
2. Spread seam sealer or beeswax to the sewn seam. This product is available at outdoor and camping specialty stores, and can vary depending on the make of your tent (canvas or nylon). Follow all product instructions and warnings for proper application details, including drying time.
3. Line up one of the patches so that it is centered with the inside area of the tear. The patch should be larger than the damaged area on all sides by at least 2 inches. Secure the patch with glue, which can also vary depending on the make of your tent. Follow product instructions for drying time; be sure the adhesive is completely dry before continuing.
4. Sew the patch into place to fully secure it. Using adhesive and stitches will help prevent the tear from spreading or from opening again.
5. Spread seam sealer or wax over the sewn seams and the edges of the patch for optimal protection.
6. Line up, glue and sew the other patch to the outside of the tear. Be sure that it lines up with the inner patch, as the two should be the same size. Apply sealer or wax to the seams and the edges of the patch.

What is an all-in-one pitching system in a tent?
Searching on the internet for a new tent for outdoor camping, I came across the term "all in one pitching system". After searching google I have found no explanations to the term.
Can someone help?

I'm assuming this is what you are referring to is a tent like this.
In this tent's case the 'system' is all in one!
Hope this helps!
Just kidding!
The tent, poles and fly are all one piece and stuck together. It comes out of the bag and pretty much just pops up into place. You just peg it down and it's ready to go!
It'll only take a few seconds to set up. Just like this!!
