[MR] Question about Tentsmiths and Panther Primitives

[Arthur Donadio]

I put my Tentsmiths' round tent (15' at the eaves, 19' at the base) up on a friend's  property for his son's birthday party last October.  The tent was 9 years old at the time.  I got busy and left it there until February.  It was still standing and in good shape when I took it down.  The stakes had a lot of rust from wintering in the ground but otherwise it was OK.  I will send it back to Tenstsmiths this week just to make sure the ring is in good shape for Pennsic.  Tentsmiths makes great tents.
