How terrible.

Thinking back to my ancient days of scouting we had only canvas tents without sewn in floors. Convience can be deadly.

RIP lads.

We had old military surplus half-shelters. Each Scout carried his half of the tent and they buttoned together along the ridge. We got really good at setting those things up.

I remember the smell of the canvas on a hot afternoon.
