Do you have to tape the vents if using for Burning Man?

I wouldn't think so, but if you are wearing them in the desert at the Burning man event. I would think they would be awfully hot. The vents allow the heat to escape, but, still, you will probably be drenched with sweat? My best guess...

Yes, I have one of the base mounts set up using vents...Works fine, just take care when installing, the first time I compressed it all the way and when released the spring got dislodged...It was a simple fix and taking a bit more care next time I have not had any issues. That base also has a small foot at the bottom that allows for changing the angle of the unit.

No. As long as you don't enclose it. Only the ones meant for indoor use need to be vented.

I've actually used tube tents a number of times in a variety of weather conditions. If you seal them, yes, you have a carbon monoxide trap. Fortunately, sealing a tube tent that tight (in the environment where they would be used) is extremely difficult. "Wind proof" means that the material blocks wind without letting it through as some fabrics do. It does not mean that putting a tube tent up is going to be windproof from all angles. As to making the tent comfortable, it's really not that difficult. On one end you make a brush (foliage, vegetation) "wall", fundamentally closing that end with plant material. This will help hold the (in theory) warm air in the tent, but will also breath at the same time. The "open" end can be set up in a variety of ways. If you're in cold weather, you build your fire 10 ft or so from the "front door" of the tube tent. Build a rock reflector wall at the back of the fire to help radiate heat into the tent. The space blanket material will retain a good portion of the heat and make you nights much better. Barring that, take your poncho, or your spare space blanket (carry 3 or 4 for the weight and cost) and tape, jam, wedge or "rock tie" it to the upper 2/3 to 3/4 of the tent opening. This allows a cross flow of air through the tent, once again, insuring against CO attacks. They're not difficult, but they do take a little practice and a bit of anticipation of potential problems.

Yes, you just don't want to put to close to anything cause it will melt the tent, air mattress ext.

It can if your burners are close by. You can use one but remember this thing gets real hot and steamy. So have windows and vents ready to go

I fairly certain the tent will burn easily, but I did not think of this as a problem. It is made of a plastic film which will burn and melt easily. I think this tent is a great value.

if u notice how shiny the outside of the tent is - its a polyurethane coating for shedding h2o & which goes along way helping keep out wind out & body heat in - its amazing what a simple army surplus candle - stove in a can ect. will due 2 keep u toasty all night - when it was real nasty i had a single mantle coleman lantern that would literally run me out of my other dome tents - WARNING VENTILATION IS A MUST WHEN BURNING THESE PRODUCTS- ive been camping since i was a kid with my family -

The instructions say to use fiberglass which I did but the distal end of my tape is embedded in spray foam with no ill effects so far. The foam could be a fire hazard so be careful where you install it.

yes, you won't need ducting inside the tent ,but outside where you want to vent the air (and odor) to, you may need ducting. Hope this helps

I don't believe so. But the fine print in the installation instructions does require that the building be vented to remove moisture created by the heater. I had continual moisture dripping from the ceiling and beams until I added a roof vent to let the moisture out. At the same time, I am loosing a certain amount of heat!!!!

Yes. There are instructions on how to put in a vent. I did it and it's very easy.

From the information you have provided, YES! Don't forget some Teflon tape when attaching all of your air fittings etc.

Lots of duct tape worked for me. I taped it from the out side and inside. Had to cut away some of the tent material. To get a snug fit.

Hahaha, good question. We brought ours to Burningman. My suggestion is to have small handheld personal fans which you can buy at Walmart for $7 each....those were great. Otherwise, just keep the door open and all the windows open.....it will cool off at night. Good luck!

Sorry for the dely in responding. No, I would not use any natural gas, propane, kerosene or other open flame type heater in a tent. The open flames burn up the oxygen in the air and emit carbon monoxide which is deadly in a closed space.
