TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Wayno,
Thanks for that , I had not seen that blog before.
Those photos show the assembly and dispatch area.
The tents arrive from Seattle then cordage/struts/inners/stuff sacks/pegs are put in place and eventually shipped out.
As you can see, Henry has a fairly big backyard to play with his tents .
BTW, seam sealing now is $35
A peculiar point is that if you buy the tent in person from TT Nevada City you pay the state tax. (8.5%) However if you order it from anywhere but California , you don't.
Apparently you are still meant to pay that in your annual taxes but I wonder how many do.
