Inspection Of The Tent

<< < (9/9)

ElizabethHarris:
Wish I could read Russian...some of those cuts look to be going inward, not outward. Hard to say what occurred on the inside or outside the tent.

GlennM:
If the stove was to be used, where would it draw air from? Surely not through a tied closed tent flap and surely not through an opened tent flap. The tent,  like the skis were items checked out by the club upon approval. Yet this tent had a hole cut in it for a stove chimney according to a photo. What gave the hkers the right to cut holes in a shared piece of club property in the first place? Was there not a bit of an arguement about who was to sew up a tear in that same canvas tent? Did Igor really have to stuff a jacket into a hole? What responsible leader is going to have a shelter that is not sound, especially since he invented his tent stove in the first place? Was this treatment of the tent just a way of the hikers thumbing their noses at the system? I recall that at least one member was a Soviet idealist.
