cheap camping tents for sale image
Kelley P
I have a bow (not a bay) window and finding a curtain rod to fit is virtually impossible. I need to put up sheer curtains on the window, but they can be stationary as long as I can pull them and tie them back a bit. I've thought about just hanging small hooks along the window or pvc pipe. I'm just not sure where to start. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Depending on the size of the window, you might trya camping store for the flexible fiberglass tent poles. They usually have replacement poles for sale, and they might even be able to cut them to a specific length for you. Be sure they put the metal end back on.
To mount it, I would use at least three of the small cafe curtain hanger clips, one at each end and one in the center. For a large window them more.
The cheapest way to hand these is to create a "tack strip".
Be sure you have measured the fabric, and allow for about 4 inches fold over for th etop mounting. Get a pice of poster board and cut into two inch wide strips until you have enough length to fir the curve in your window.
push tacks, (usually upholstery tacks, but thumbtacks will likely hold for sheers) through the strips every three inches or so.
Lay the fabric out, and place the tack strip at the top edge of the fabric, tack into the material. Fold the strip over the fabric so the tacks are now face up, and the fabric has been wrapped on both sides of the poster board.
Pick up the strip of poster board and tack it to the window frame at your measured height. continue until all the sections are up. Now you can pull back the sections as you want. When loose they should fall and cover the wondow.
Good luck, hope this helps with what you are trying to do.

What does your bug out bag consist of?
Winobot Du
I have decided to put together a bug out bag for a SHTF situation, and figured it would be a good idea to see what other people have so i dont forget something that would be useful. I have two US surplus day packs i will probably fill up. What do you have in yours and what is the bag?
Answer
I use many duffel bags that i got for free, and one wooden ammo case that I refinished. I also have a few unmarked cardboard boxes.
my BOB is something I stick into the minivan and get out of town asap. I have no plans to hike out of town, I live in the middle of a large city.
