User Manual
Big Sky Chinook 2P tent manual
I have the Big Sky Chinook 2p tent and I have a rip on the door of the 4 season insert, 2 inches long in a L shape. What is the best way to repair it? and what kind of seam sealer should I get for this tent? Thanks!
It sounds like the 2 inch "L" shape tear is in the Breathable Fabric inner, correct? If yes, then seam sealer is not required. For a temporary fix, Gear Aid Tenacious tape would work. For long term fix, the tear should probably be sewn... we think a local sewing shop should be able to do this for you. We suggest taking it to them to get their feedback. If no local sewing shops, maybe contact https://rainypass.com/ in Seattle, WA.

Is the inner tent floor pu coated, and if so, what is the expected lifetime of the pu before it starts to degrade/smell?
Outside of the floor fabric is silicone coated, and inside is PU coated and seam taped.
The life of the PU coating depends on a lot of factors... weather (heat and humidity), use, etc. ... We have had some luck restoring PU fabric with https://bigskyinternational.com/products/gear-aid-seam-grip-tf-tent-fabric-sealant
Does the weight include the pegs and guy lines?
Tent weight includes outer, inner, and poles. Since people use different types and quantities of stakes/pegs and guy lines they are not included in the tent weight.
