Somehow, and neither me or my buddy can figure out how, I was walking through the door on my 6 man and my suspenders came unclipped from my pants and latched on to my tipi. Those little teeth put a small hole in the tent. It's tiny, but I was wanting to patch it back up. Are there patch kits available through the SO store? I didn't see one, but I guess I could have overlooked it.

How small? If its as small as an ember hole then a dab of silicone works fine. I did that on an original BCS a while back.

It's probably that small, or maybe a hair bigger. I'll try the silicone. Thanks Nathan.

If it is real small a dab of silicone will be fine. If it's bigger than say the head of an eraser just contact us and we will send something out. If it's real big , like an unfriendly bear encounter, let us know and we can repair for a minimal fee.

For something bigger than a drop of silicone could repair you can perfectly use "Tear-Aid" type A for most repairs in the field (except for vinyl, this requiers type B). I even think if you carry enough tear aid you also could somehow restore the shelter somehow with Tear Aid. http://www.tear-aid.com/. Thermarest now supplies patches of Tear-Aid instead of tube of glue and some patches as repair kit....
