Your tent repair kit

The following items should assist you if you need to undertake a tent repair whilst away from home. Generally, few repairs are ever needed (I have been camping for many years and if you buy a reasonable tent then very little will go wrong), but to be on the safe side, especially if you are to be away from home for a reasonable period, it is worth taking a few repair provisions :-

• Spare pole sections.

• Seam sealant to repair any leaking tent seams.

• A spare guy rope.
• Spare tent pegs.
• Needle and thread to repair any fabric rips.
• Reproofing solution (available from DIY shops and general camping stores).

Also, it is well worth taking some duct tape and a knife with you as many problems can be temporarily repaired by stiching the tape to broken fibreglass poles, ripped tent fabric, ripped groundsheets and so on.
