Tents and Tentsibility

[michigander]

Erecting tents is nearly as difficult as collimating a scope.

You have to start with the ritual of the Burmese tent pole dance, here being elegantly demonstrated by Amanda and Ritchie. Note how the gentleman bows gracefully to the lady as she demonstrates her fancy footwork whilst introducing the concept of the pole.

Next off it is absolutely essential to have confidence that you know that you know exactly how each particular tent is erected.....

Unfortunately you might have the theory perfect, but the practice may end up with a very wide, but impossibly low, entrance.

It's not enough to know all your poles, you really do have to get them all in the right order.

Brilliant! But I thought if the entrance was wide and low it would make me look tall and thin by comparison .... some hope
