Y 2 inch “D” rings, as told, for ends, 
sewing one at each end of line "e-f” of 
“C” in Fig. 2, and the remaining two eqi- 
distant along the line “e-f.” Fold line 
“h-i” under at “e-f” and back to line 
“j-k.” Sew firmly. 
Next cut your ridge tape, two and a 
half feet long, of one inch webbing. 
Attach Yi. inch “D” rings, one at each 
end, one at the center and one 7^2 inches 
from each end, as in “F, 1,” and “F, 2” 
of Fig. 1 in which “a, a” is ridge tape, 
“b, b” is Y^ inch web tape, passed 
through “D” ring and sewn on each side 
to ridge tape, and “c, c” are “D” rings, 
in F, 1,” Fig. 1, while “a” is “D” ring, 
“b” is ridge tape, and “c, c” cross tape, 
in “F, 2,” of Fig. 1. Draw a line down 
the center of the ridge tape, from end 
to end. Attach the ridge tape by a triple 
seam along the center line marked on the 
ridge tape, to the inside of “C,” Fig. 2, 
at line “x-y,” leaving “D” rings toward 
the top, as in “H” of Fig. 3. 
OU are now ready to partially as- 
A semble the tent. Sew along the 
inch seam lines, overlapping to the lines 
marked, with a flat double seam (sewing 
along the edge of each piece, first on one 
side then reversing to sew along the edge 
of the other) lines “a-k-f-h-d” of “D” in 
Fig. 2, to line “y-j-e-i-c” of “C” in Fig. 
2, and “x-k-f-h-d” of “C” to “a-j-e-i-c,” 
of “B” in Fig. 2. Sew ^ inch tape over 
all seams on the inside of your tent, al- 
lowing one piece to extend over and be- 
yond the peak of your tent, and folding 
back to form a loop at each end of your 
ridge tape, as shown in “h” of “H” in 
Fig. 3. 
Ne.xt cut aj piece the shape and meas- 
urements of “s-t-h-i-s,” of “C” in Fig. 
2, mark your seam lines Y^ inch on each 
end, allowing a half inch in additional 
depth, to turn in and hem at the top, 
along line “h-i.” Then sew end “h-d” 
to “i-c” of “D” and end “i-c” to “h-d” 
of “B” in Fig. 2. This is the tread, as 
shown by “c-d-e-f,” of “D” in Fig. 1, and 
when completed will keep bugs, snakes, 
etc., from crawling into your tent. 
Next cut a piece which, when hemmed 
inch, will measure 2 feet 7 inches long 
by 3 inches wide ; attach this to the other 
side of your ridge tape, leaving inch 
over at each end. Turn these ends under 
and sew, flat down along the lines, “a-j” 
of “D” and “a-k” of “B” in Fig. 2. This 
is the top piece of doorwav, as shown by 
“1-i-j-k” of “D,” Fig. 1. 
At this point it is proper to draw on 
your treasury of cuss words, learned 
from mule-skinners, deck-hands, etc., or 
express your feelings in Chinese, if your 
wife is within earshot ; in other words, 
proceed with care. Cut two pieces of 
Bobbinet for your door. Referring to 
“D” of Fig. 1, “o-q” is 4 feet 7)7^ inches, 
“q-k” 1 foot 10 inches at right angles, 
and “o-d” is 4 feet. The mate to this is 
of like size, as “r-n,” 4 feet 7)4 inches, 
“1-r” 1 foot 10 inches, and “n-c” 4 feet. 
Draw your lines “k-d” and “1-c,” cut out 
and edge with )4'ii'ich tape all the way 
around. Sew tape from points “k” to 
“m,” and “1” to “p.” Attach a simple 
1-inch pocket of light denim for a dis- 
tance of 1 foot 4)4 inches, one on each
