Snow Cloth

Back

Attach a snow cloth to the bottom of the tents’ side walls. The snow cloth seals the tent to the ground in order to conserve heat in exposed or windswept areas.

Place insulating material such as spruce boughs, brush, cardboard or other suitable material between the ground and the snow cloth.

CAUTION

Never allow the snow cloth to freeze to the ground. In the event of a fire, personnel must be able to roll out from under the walls of the tent; there will not be enough time for personnel in their sleeping bags to get up and file out of the tent door.
