Columnist Theodore Decker just figured he would rehab an old tent and find someone on the street who needed it. Then came an email about another tent.
. The tent had served me well for a good 30 years and was still functional, but I'd upgraded a while back and there seemed little reason to hang onto it any longer.It took me longer than it should have to realize that with a few repairs, I didn't have to toss it. Having read and written recently aboutTheodore Decker:Then I received a wake-up bonk on the head, in the form of a reader email.
Good question. My plan hadn't gone farther than fixing the poles for my tent, waterproofing it, and walking out to some of the homeless camps I've visited through the years to see if there were any takers. "Best I can recall I bought this tent 25 years ago and never set it up," he said."It is a Big Lots family for four tent."
I also know there are two general categories of tent owners. There are the committed campers, who like me probably have a habit of upgrading and amassing gear. And there are the folks who gave tent camping a try and realized after a few trips — usually one involving rain — that it was not their bag.
