[MR] EZ up type tents

[Glynis Knibb (Glynis Gwynedd)]

Pop ups make great kites. The landing's usually a bit rough, and they're
only good for one flight. Also, if you do go this route - make certain you
check the actual size of the roof. We once bought a pair of 9 x 9 pop ups at
$50 each. Turns out they had 6 x 6 roofs. It has to do with straight legs vs
slanted legs.

I would second the comment about the center pole square tent. I looked at
some of those at Aethelmearc War Practice this weekend and was fairly
pleased with what I saw. If I were having to put a tent up by myself I'd go
for one of those. Seems to me that you could probably make one yourself if
you were just going for a "roof".
