Making ultra light tent poles for a Wenzel Star Lite backpacking tent - revised

Making ultra light tent poles for a Wenzel Star Lite backpacking tent - revised Tube. Duration : 9.27 Mins.


This video explains how I made ultra light carbon tent poles for my little .00 Wenzel backpacking tent. The arrows I used in this video are Beman Venture 500s, which as shown fit inside the 2117 sleeves very nicely. If you are searching for aluminum arrows to use, here is some information. The first 2 numbers on aluminum arrows is the outside diameter in 1/64ths of an inch and the second two numbers is the wall thickness in thousandths of an inch. That means the 2117 aluminum arrows I used are 21/64 ths of an inch outside diameter with a wall thickness of .017 There are lots of combinations that would work. For instance, the Carbon Express Wolverine arrow has a fractionally larger diameter. This arrow does not fit inside a 2117 sleeve but it probably would fit inside a sleeve made from 2215 or 2216 aluminum arrows. I do know that the Carbon Wolverine will not fit inside a 2114 and a 2312 is a little too big making a slightly loose fit. Some sporting goods/supply stores sell used/traded arrows. Check if they have some cheap ones you can purchase. Also, try your local archery club to see if they might have a junk arrow bucket.

o Use a tarp or ground cloth. This piece of added gear for your camping tent is cheap to purchase, as low as ten dollars, and will help keep your tent dry during wet weather. A tarp or ground cloth under your tent will also protect it from rocks and other ground materials that may tear or damage your camping tent.

o Your tent will most likely come with stacks, and it is a good idea to stack your tent to the ground. naturally hammer in the stacks with a heavy rock or hammer on each side to gain your tent. This will forestall the tent from being blown if you feel winds and will also keep it from keen while you are inside of the tent.

If you plan to do winter camping or even cold altitude camping in warmer climates, then you would want to look for a four season tent. If you are alone, then obviously you won't need as much space as if you need to fit a house of six into your tent for camping. Or, if you prefer, you can still have some privacy for the people in your group while camping under one 'roof' by purchasing a tent that has flaps which act as dividers inside the tent in order to create 2 or more interior 'rooms.

You should also invest in a good ground sheet to reinforce the tent for camping and protect it from rips, tears and wear, as well as to keep the groundwater away from you

Keeping these simple pointers in mind will have you well on your way to studying how to build a camping tent. Also, remember never to build your camping tent within twenty feet of your grill or campfire.

Foods For Camping, No Cooking, No Refrigeration!

As I sit here, I ask myself, do I write an record or a list? Do I list the names or just write an in-depth story about camping foods? Or can I make my list into an article.  I will do both and all, so here we go.    I have been camping many times over the past few years.  And though I do not reconsider myself a camping expert, I do feel that I have some great helpful hints for campers in the areas of food, hiking, putting up tents, choosing and purchasing tents and other ideas.  So, I will write a series of articles about camping, camping helpful hints, and other associated items associated to camping, backpacking, hiking, and campfires, and the rest.   This record that I write here at this moment is totally dedicated to foods.  However, the record is geared to foods that you can take camping when you do not want to start fires, make campfires, or lug any cooking equipment.  Yes, you can camp out without the fire and without the charcoal and without finding firewood.  That does make camping easier for everyone and it lightens your pack.  The hypothesize your pack is lighter is because each day as you eat, you have less in your pack, and you are not carrying matches, starter fluid, charcoal or other associated items.   So now that I have explained myself, here is my list:

Coleman Sundome 4-Person Tent Specifications

Roomy enough for a small family, the Coleman Sundome 4 tent sleeps up to four people at a time in complete comfort. The Sundome 4 is outfitted with Coleman's exclusive WeatherTec system, a series of technical features intended to protect you from inclement weather and nasty storms.


The tent's interior measures 63 square feet--enough for up to four people.
WeatherTec tents are built with a coated polyester fabric combined with anti-wicking thread, webbing, and zippers, all designed to keep you dry when the rain comes down. The tent's welded waterproof floor and inverted floor seams, meanwhile, dramatically increase the water resistance by hiding the needle holes inside the tent and away from the elements. In fact, Coleman is so confident in its WeatherTec system that it exposes its WeatherTec tents to a rain room that simulates nasty downpours, and to a wind machine capable of blowing hurricane force gusts. The results? Even after the tests, Coleman guarantees its WeatherTec tents will keep you dry.

The Sundome 4's interior is spacious, with a base that measures 9 feet by 7 feet and a center height of 59 inches--plenty of headroom for most people. In addition, the dome-style tent is engineered to keep you cool thanks to the adjustable Variflo ventilation and vented Cool-Air port.

About Coleman
More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him, Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward, Coleman started a lighting service that offered a "no light, no pay" clause--a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked--and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark.

In the ensuing years, Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company's current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won't deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more. Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come.
