Decorating a tent
Any ideas for how to decorate a tent (minimum weight of course)? Like Martha Stewart style x-mas decorations.

Hang a mini-disco ball from one of the gear loft loops on the inside. Focus a headlamp on it and voila! Instant Love Shack!

Bit, I actually have done that. Outside I hung those cool Budweiser Christmas lights all over the outside plus one of those cool neon open signs. A full size Jamaican flag made my crib complete for a weekend on camping and whitewater rafting.

tent decorating... on my nor'wester we used the blood from mosquitoes to write on the walls "Bloodvein '00" The following year we had the same tent and wrote "Hommes '01" on the opposite side.

I actually thought about taking a Sharpie to my tent and writing/drawing fun stuff on it. Especially since I named my Half Dome "The Palace."
