best camping tents for 2 image

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.

Looking for a good quality camping tent?

I am in the market for a camping tent that will fit 2-4 people. I have been looking online for different ones around $150. I was wondering if anyone knew some good brands or has any recommendations. One of my main concerns is to get a tent which will not leak (and obviously a decent quality all around).
Answer
Your answer is a few clicks away for your convince.
http://www.cabela`s.com or http://basspro.com Quality and affordability These tents should come with a rain fly, make sure you get one with (a rain fly) to stay dry .
If you can`t find one with a (rain fly )then make one with a poly tarp lay it over the tent at night and tie it down on the corners to protect you from moisture. Take it off when there is no dew or rain.
Also I lay a sheet of sheeting or two of thin plywood on the floor to protect from ground moisture.even if the tent has a poly floor in a heavy rain water can run in .The plywood gets things off the floor. through a few sheets or pieces of sheets in before you pack the rest of the gear.
Presto- bone dry
