This is a trivial (not much to it) functional mod of my Zpacks Duplex tent to go along with my previously "Up in the Air" video:    • Zpacks Duplex Flex Poles and Tent Sta...   to just make things easier, faster, and cleaner for me.

I added a piece of 1.2 mm Z-line cord to go from the mesh pouch at bottom of each door to up to the tent apex. These cords serve two purposes: (1) when packing up the tent they pull the tent floor up in half to create a fold with half of the outside face of the floor folded against itself to keep mud, debris, and junk away from the rest of the fabric (important when trips are pretty wet, cold, and messy; and (2) they make sure the bathtub floor remains a bathtub when the doors were unzipped by pulling up those edges much like the shock cords pull up the ends of the floor on the other two edges. The cords could lie loose when not used for these 2 purposes and don't interfere with access. The mod of two cords add less than 3 grams to total weight.

Comments welcome! Thanks for watching!
