Putting together a tent system


Stormy weather in Lyons, New York:


Windy, the tent, getting a fitting during the sewing-up job.  So far the big top and one side panel are completed with the rest yet to be invented as we go along.  It is sort of built on an old but practical military style.  The nylon fabric is heavy but experience will tell if I will be sewing up some new tent next year.  I chose the color orange because of Syracuse University (of course) and also because my son the Danimal below is a land surveyor.  It is by far the most honest profession, but also seems to be one that requires spraying day-glo orange on yourself a lot.
