Before plastic tarps and even before waxed canvas there was oilcloth. An ancient technique of water proofing I've long wanted to have a go at. Something else I've long wanted to do is learn how to use my sewing machine. So when I stumbled across these tent plans - I had to give them a shot!

This is the first of four homemade camping projects, each will have it's own video. Once I've done them all I shall go on a little adventure (and film that as well!).
