    Seriously. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered anything more complex than: extendo poles make X, tent clips go on X, stake into ground.

        Dark isn’t too bad if you’re familiar with the tent but I once tried to assemble one in 30-40mph winds and that was a special kind of suffering.

            Once I got it hammered in it was a glorious spot of calm, though it took 30 minutes and some help. One or two guys said fuck it and stacked bags to block the wind and just slept in the open behind them. Can’t fault them.
