The tent of claim 11, wherein the port cover flap has a top edge and two side edges that are attached to one of the walls, and wherein the port cover flap is pleated with sufficient fabric to be moved to the open position not blocking the port and extending away from the wall with the attached top and side edges preventing the ingress of rain into the interior of the tent. 17. The tent of claim 16, further comprising means for selectively holding the port cover flap in the open position or the closed position. 18. A method of routing a power cord between the interior of the outdoor tent of claim 11 and outside of the tent, the method consisting of: assembling the tent outdoors; opening the port cover flap and the mesh panel by operating the closure to access the pass-through port formed in the lower portion of the wall of the tent above the floor of the tent and below or subjacent the windows; extending the power cord through the pass-through port without opening any of the doors, any of the windows, or any other opening of the tent; moving the mesh panel and the closure to their respective intermediate positions with the mesh panel in a snug and conforming fit with the power cord and with the closure retaining the mesh panel in place to keep insects from passing through the pass-through port to the tent interior; and moving the cover flap to its intermediate position to prevent rain from passing through the pass-through port into the tent or leaving the cover flap in its open position to allow airflow through the mesh panel and into the tent. 19.
