I recently bought a Shappell Rover single man ice tent that pulls over like the Clam products. There is a generous amount of canvas when it is in the closed position. The other day, I was fishing on a lake with little snow cover and notice when in the closed position with me inside, the flaps continuously would blow inside the fishing area. Does anyone have any ideas how to anchor this material. It appears they left a generous 6" lip of mateial and I was thinking of taking the canvas off and asking my wife to sew small, tubular pieces of lead in the flap. What do you think and what would be the best source of lead? I realize this will add a small amount of weight to my unit. THanks in advance!
