Hi folks,
I am a total rookie to tent camping at the age of 46. Call it middle age itch, whatever, I felt a need for the outdoors.
Just last week I bought a tent at a garage sale. A Escort Uv-Tex 5. It seems to be in good shape. I set it up in my back yard in about 10 minutes and I discovered after a we got a little rain that there is a leak somewhere. There is no rain fly with the tent. So here are my rookie questions. Can I just fashion a tarp or something as a rain fly when I'm camping? Also, would it do any good to try and seal the seams or use water treatments of some kind?
Thanks, any help is much appreciated.
