non- freestanding tents! give me your advice!!!

I think you will like your tarptent. I have the Squall 2. Its light enough for one, but roomy enough for two. I made one improvement in the design that might help you. To keep the tent sag free overnight in damp weather, I attached two sections of surgical tubing to the guy lines at each end, and the sides. They are sold as "snubbers" in fishing stores, such as Cabela's. Get the largest size they have. The snubbers let the tent flex in wind, but snap back in place when the gust of wind passes. I got the tyvek footprint with my Sqaull 2, but have been leaving it at home, and saving a pound.

Great idea. This idea could probably be used on many tents!
