This badge bit (BB) is part of the PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in textiles.

In this project, you will make sleeping tent for 2+ people (at least a 64 feet square footprint).

Minimum requirements:
 - the tent will accommodate two or more adults for sleeping
 - minimum square footprint will be at least 64 square feet
 - will use only natural materials for fabric, frame, etc.
 - will have flat fell seams
 - will have a hemmed edges
 - will fit the frame properly

To document completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pics or video (< 2min):
 - Describe the tent you will make.
 - Show and describe your pattern, materials, and tools.
 - Show constructing the frame.
 - Show making the tent cover.
 - Show your completed tent in way that documents size.
 
The following video will give you ideas and instructions for a couple of different tents. But remember, to fulfill the requirements of this BB, you must use natural materials for your frame and tent cover.
