TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Tyvek footprint.

Hi all just seeking some advice,
I have been looking for a solo tent for a while now and it has been a toss up between the Akto and the Scarp. The Akto has been winning in my mind because of the footprint attachment and the ease that it affords at set up. I have just viewed Franco's thread on doing a footprint that attaches and rolls with the tent but it didn't cover the vestibules. So I would like to take this one step further and attach it to the arching pole attachment or similar and cut the tyvek to fill the vestibules. Is this possible and does the scarp have a hook or attachment point that would allow this to be done? I can't see anything online with regards to some hooks etc.......on the tent.
Cheers

Just use some shockcord loops to go around the pole on each side.

Thanks Strider, I thought that would be the answer but was unsure about loading the poles with more weight or pull inwards toward the tent but it sounds like its not a problem. Cheers.
