After Much Searching, We Settled on a Canvas Tent

We finally outgrew our Ozark trail tent, and we decided this year it was time to upgrade to a long-term tent. We went CANVAS!

It was so big, it didn't fit in the back yard without overlapping our garden or the sandbox. So we set it up in the front yard.

The most remarkable thing about this tent, is that it can be set up by one person!

We had to go inside the tent and lift up the center pole to raise the canvas over the tarp. Read center as "north", canvas as "firmament" and tarp as "earth" to understand biblical creation.

It was very exciting to stand inside the tent for the first time. It's really spacious, even before it's stretched out!

The canvas lets in a lot of light and the vents at the top help circulate fresh air.

We couldn't stretch it out all the way because of the sidewalk and driveway, but it was up enough to water it in.

Girls made a pretend campfire to go with our new tent. They must be warming up their shoes!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations. Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.

Awesome! What is Sukkot?

It's known as the feast of Tabernacles in the Bible. Someday we'll be celebrating in Jerusalem, or wherever the Most High places His name.

Cool tent!
You are certainly getting organised early.

I haven't given the thought to Sukkot. Its more than 6 weeks away.

We Israelis don't plan more than a week or two ahead.

Anything can happen in 6 weeks. Its all in Hashem's hands.

Sukkot will be before we know it! We're travelling down south this year, so we're doing what we can to get ready early.

Nice tent! What are the advantages of canvas? Will you be observing Sukkot at home or traveling? We are planning on celebrating at home this year.

Canvas has a great advantage in that it's heavy, breathable, blocks wind and keeps water out. It's made to last for decades! We're going down south this year, looking forward to the adventure.
