WALL TENT "IDEAS TO PROTECT THEM FROM THIEVES"

[JimmyHoffa]

Maybe you could find someone to tag along for a fee....basically a camp babysitter that guards your stuff.  Too bad you can't just surround it with landmines.

so as i think more about this,   what if there were to be some electronic device sewn into the seam or somewhere then if it got stole I could track it down somehow.. Might be a little spendy but, would set the mind at ease knowing if some one stole it I could track it down...

boy would they ever be in for a shock of their life.......

[bearpaw]

What about taking a waterproof felt marker and writing your name and phone number or whatever you want on the front and back of the tent in an obvious place...

how bout a electric fence tied into the zipper or frame.you could have the battery inside and they would have no idea.I have e wall tent also and was always worried about everything stolen.Very sad that we have to worry about that stuff

[phishisgroovin]

it doesnt matter if its only going to be a few hours or a day, we always leave someone in camp (armed).

Leave your hungry Rottweiler inside of it........

For some reason nobody wants to steal an old army tent like mine

Look into Data Dot used to protect cars ,also I would plan traceable I phone or something ,there is apps to trace things.

ok i am a little behind here, but is there actually something small enough that a fella could sew it into the fabric where someone wouldnt notice and then you could track it with your phone? because if there is i am all over it, it took me to damn long to get my wall tent just to have some *censored* steal it from me, and yes when i caught them they would be eating their fingers for lunch

How about one of the tiny chips they use for pets?

Those chips have no tracking ability. You would have to find the tent first and then run a scanner over it
to see if it has a chip.

OK, here's the really cool answer for this.

TRACE:DOG (www.tracedog.fr) has developed, in close collaboration with veterinarians, two GPS pet tracking devices for dogs. The TRACE:GPS is an assisted-GPS pet tracking device for GSM networks. The TRACE:GSM does not use GPS signals, but determines its position by mobile phone network triangulation. Both devices have a quad-band GSM modem incorporated. Via Internet you can see where your dog is on a variable-scale map. With your mobile phone, you can send an alarm signal to your dog's device and if your phone supports MMS technology, you will instantly receive a mapped location. You can also obtain the dog's location via a SMS text message or even via a voice server. TRACE:DOG is sold by veterinarians, pet shops and garden centers.

I'm pretty sure this makes me a genius.

The active RFID tags still need a radio within 500 feet. So that would not work. 

A better idea is to get a GPS device that you would put into a pre-sewn pocket.  Then when it gets hi-jacked you call a 1-800 number and they track it or the other you track it.  You bring in cops in and off to jail they go.

Can you paddlock or bolt the frame and joints together? I have no idea if that will work.  I have never put one together.

If you keep the frame tight and bolted together, can the canvas come off?

Regardless, I still consider myself a genius!
