That's easy, you empty your living room.

And how do you watch the football game in 18 minutes ? That's even easier........you camp in your own living room :D

The story : My tent was all clean and dry, packed up and ready for the winter in my storage room in the basement where I live. Unfortunately it was on the floor, there was a big storm a few days ago and the basement got flooded. The zippers, ropes and straps are all soaked wet, they need a few days to dry, only is to set the tent up and wait..............

An overlander's gotta what he's gotta do :grinning:

Nice!

I woulda gone with the front yard or maybe set it up at the park for a few hrs. In the sun.

Either way. Cool deal.

Yep, been there done that. I have returned from a trip and it was raining. The only dry place was the living room.
You gotta do what you gotta do. Storing a wet tent is a fast way to destroy it.

That is what I would do if I didn’t have a wife that might be offended I took over the whole living room
