Great job! Just in time for a serious temp drop this weekend!

Just finished with the last of the sewing this weekend and fired up the stove. Tent warmed up nicely and pitched nice and tight. Made it from an old external frame Coleman Umbrella tent.
First thing I did was cut down the poles so that they could fit on the inside, my thinking being it could take a better snow load just in case. Next I cut out the floor except for a foot perimeter, which I then flipped out to make a sod cloth. Had to make a new door and cover for the rear window. I also made some windows out of clear vinyl rated for -20 F that will also cover the door as well as rear window. Got the stove jack from Snowtrekker and sewed that in nicely, basing its location off the snowtreker I already own.

Finished interior dimensions are about 7’x7’ by 7’ tall, just right for me.
