Introduction

Packing and unpacking, pitching in the wind, people tripping over guy lines; camping can be tough on your flysheet and can lead to rips and tears in the fabric. Luckily, they're often easy to repair so you can have many more adventures before you even need to think about buying a new one.

Duct Tape will usually provide a good short-term fix when applied to both sides of the fabric. For a more permanent solution, we recommend using Gear Aid Tenacious Repair Tape, a clear tape that bonds to almost anything to form a near-invisible seal.
