Hey guys, new here! I have a couple questions and any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. I tried to use the search option but I couldn't find the thread I was looking for. I apologize if I overlooked a similar topic. Anyway...
I purchased my tent (REI Half Dome 4) earlier this year and I've camped in it 3 or 4 times since. I just got back from a week long trip in Talluah Falls, GA and had a nightmare about my tent busting apart at the seams during a bad storm. This, of course, got me thinking about if I was taking care of my tent properly.
I'm not an avid adventurer or anything but I'm working my way up to it. I'm sort of particular about my equipment and I'm trying my best to take good care of it. I was wondering if there is any sort of special care or maintenance that I should (or could) be doing to my tent in between trips or during long periods of storage? I love my little tent and it would break my heart if something bad happened to her because of something I could have prevented.
Thanks in advance!
