Wall Tents Tips and Tricks
RG:
I second trenching the tent. I don't care what kind of tarp you have, when the big thunder storm soaker rain comes through, and it has to me multiple times over 35 years of wall tenting, you will think you are on the set of the movie "a river runs through it" if you don't trench at the edges of the walls. This is especially true if there's any kind of uphill slope nearby. Take my word for it. If you have a floor that isn't completely waterproof it will get damp eventually. Make the trench. Also, bring mouse traps. Nothing is more irritating than a mouse or chipmunk scratching around at 0200 after you hiked 10 miles today. The "snap" and squeak is a very satisfying sound.

post use DRY and store, I suspend in garage in bag with a sash of mothballs in each tent bag to keep out rodents or your tent can quickly get chewed up!

I put chair rubbers on my tent legs to protect the sod cloth from downward weight.
