The Ice Storm Cometh

svh01973 · 01-26-2009, 03:57 PM

I live in Dallas, TX which is expecting an ice storm tomorrow. I've got my tent (a Coleman Tucana) set up in my backyard for practice and to waterproof the seams which I've finished. I'd be interested to see if the tent does okay in the rain and ice, but I don't want to put it at serious danger of damage. I've got it staked down well, but I'm wondering if the frozen rain/ice has the potential to damage the fabric. The tent is polyester and has Coleman's exclusive WeatherTec™ System. I'd appreciate any advice!

woW. great experiment.

As you have got it stacked down well and the tent is polyester and uses coleman's exclusive weatherTec system.
I don't think a ice storm could do any harm to it

please share your results with us too

So what happened to the tent I would also like to know.
It would suck if I was camping outside and stuck in ice and rain.
That is why I only camp when it is spring or summer but I would love to camp in november or some months where there is a bit of rain.
