I have an old North Face tent that my wife and I purchased in 1985 before we backpacked in Colorado. While it is a smaller 2 man tent we used it an many trips even when our son was small for everything. Later we bought a REI Half Dome 2 + and the older tent was stored away. I got it out years ago and it had a bad smell so I made the mistake of washing it in the machine and the old waterproofing peeled off. I would now like to take it on solo trips since it packs down smaller and is lighter than the REI one. I need to put some waterproofing on it and the fly before I do. I have seen some videos on Youtube about different products but would like to get opinions as to the best product and method by those who may have done this before.
Thank You,
Mike
