Your old tent is repairable. Use a piece of canvas to cover that tear. It should be 3 inches in each direction from the tear. Apply a generous layer of henry construction adhesive to the inner and outer edges of the patch and press it well in place on the outside. Its heat resistant, flexible, waterproof, and sticks to everything.
Thanks Snakeclaw, I'll have find it.
If your leaving a canvas tent up for any length of time, invest in a vinyl cover/rain fly
That works in Florida but we don't have to worry about snow.
As your friend at My Self Reliance figures out, whatever size you think you want just double it and add a walk in porch and screened deck. You will be in heaven. You get one chance to do the foundation right. Can’t wait to watch the series.
Congrats for sure!!! Im stoked for this journey with you!!! Wooo Hoooo. Let the Fun begin!!!
Great news! I'm looking forward to future videos. 🙂👍
I'm very happy for you. Nothing like having your own land. Congratulations Scott!!

Congratulations!! That is wonderful news! So glad for you and your family. Nothing like a log cabin🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞♥️♥️♥️🌝🌝🌝
The small tent, you need to loosen it. And sew it. Put heat tape on both side where the seams are. It's not a lost. You didn't live in it that much.
I grew up in tents... so I know... 🙂💕
This. No biggy and done fairly quickly.
Congrats on getting the property and good luck on your cabin build. Built a small permanent shelter on my property. What a difference it made. Take care, Al
Great news, can't wait to see your videos

I partially agree with you but please remember: Nothing is weather proof, repair your tent sir, it’s good for many years to come, I love your words of wisdom and family commitment. Best of luck.
Totally awesome. Congratulations!!
Hi you can buy a larger peice of fire resistant material.Simply put it over top the excisting..My tent is getting close to 30 years and stands all winter in Canada.Just saying.Mcbain.
Hi there. Any other tips and tricks that you might suggest? Just bought my first one and am putting a wood stove in it. You seem to know what you are doing?
@@SnozBerryQueen You can buy silicone/fiberglass stove jacks very cheap, alternatively you can use an aluminum baking sheet or two.
We will be buying our first canvas tent this year and I will be reinforcing the stove jack immediately with a baking sheet and extra fiberglass.
It seems to be the typical fault point on these tents and is easier to prevent than repair.
Really looking forward to the new cabin series / next chapter of your TH-cam channel!
I hear you about the canvas issues. I had my share of problems. I went with a Sierra Designs Mountain Tarp Tipi that I sewed in a silicone stove jack. It was killer. Not sure why I sold it. I kick myself for letting it go. 70D Nylon. 5 lbs. Fast and easy setup. A bit of sag and poor heat retention though. However, I just bought a Luxe Megahorn XL in white to replace it. Excellent so far. Way better heat retention. We will see how it holds up.
It's not winter that kills the tents but UV from the sun. My 10x12 prospector lasted 20 years and last year was the final for it. Never leave the stove pipe in when you leave is first advise, the stove jack in that tent was not of thick construction and I can see why it failed, silicone was not thick enough. I have an 5 man arctic bell tent that withstood a nasty storm last year without fail. The adage you get what you pay for sometimes is very much true, with snow, rain and ice storms here in the North, trees barely survive, let alone a tent. I left my prospector up 2 years straight and summers killed it......cheers Fred
Thanks Fred.
Best of luck to you. Hope this turns into a living dream come true. I will be watching !
Looks like fun, looking forward to the videos.
Wow! Pretty huge news there! It'd be fantastic to has some land to do just whatever with like that. Wish you the best & look forward to seeing the progress!
Wow. Fantastic plans Scott. The new cabin sounds fun and nice. It will be great to follow you on this building adventure. All the best of Good Luck!! 🎇❄️☃️😀🌹🌹🎅🎅🎄🎁⛄🦃💖
Awesome cant wait to follow your journey
Awesome man!!! Congrats on the man land lol. Can’t wait to see the progression of the cabin.
Congratulations!
Very cool! Can't wait ❤
Congrats!! Looking forward to the construction videos!
Congratulations, looking forward to watching you build your own cabin best of luck 👍
That's awesome Scott! Looking forward to the build. Maybe some inspiration to do one with my kids too :)
Congratulations on the property. Looking forward to the videos.
I have an Atuk that has been set up for 2 years now. No problem. I had a Woods that was set up for 5 years. It finally ripped due to a heavy snow BUT it was 20 years old. I am nervous re cord wood/stack wall building. Do your research. Thanks for the videos. Congrats on the land. There is nothing better than owning your own piece of bush.
Awesome new Scott, So happy for you... would make a great story on My Show 😉... Dennis, Canoehound Adventures
Frameless canvas tents are used were someone needs a light and packable shelter. Design is important because the fabric takes all the stress. The snow load over-stressed your chimney fabric which looks like fiberglass mat never meant to be stressed. No one who I know uses rubber around a chimney--high temperature silicone which can be mistaken for rubber is appropriate. For winter camping where it snows, use a framed tee pee where the snow shouldn't accumulate as much and where the canvas has support. Any framed tent will take a higher snow load because the frame takes the stress and supports the canvas more. Keep in mind snow can even flatten out a framed wall tent if the snow isn't cleaned off.
Canvas tents that don’t have an internal frame don’t last very long if you leave it up for months. Especially in the winter time if there’s lots of snow buildup. Anyways congrats on your new land and upcoming projects.
Congratulations and good luck!
It’s important for anyone that practices bushcraft to learn how to sew to maintain and repair their equipment. Most of us can’t just run to the store to get a new one when things start to break down.
Very good news..! Make a good plan and keep it adjustable I would say. Don't make the cabin to small even it will take a lot longer, later you will regret it. You see what Shawn James is doing? First a porch and then a extra room because his wife is going to try there to live also. He has a great one man cabin built and have to work hard now because its a bit to small. Better think twice...
The biggest challenge I'm finding is deciding the size. Still debating it.
@@DrenalinAdventures You don't have to build the whole thing at once. Stake out a large floorplan- the size you WISH you had if money and time were no object. Then, build it room by room- the front door and living room first, which will serve as tiny living quarters as you build the next rooms, leaving a doorway to expand to next room. Build every season, or when you have the time and money. One room at a time and in a few years (or less), you will have a big nice house- and still leave a door to expand even more later.
Sounds exciting.
Awesome!
Great video and your filming/editing is incredibility well done a beautifully captured!
Wow, very happy for you. I’m excited to watch it happen. Looking forward to a tour of the property by drone sometime?
🎙💨I knew you’d finally kick in to my journey outside of humanity welcome to the “woods” Scotty boy!!!!🌲🌲🧘🏽♂️🌲🌲🏕🏔
