dis bitchs voice is fuckin annoying
lol i bet dat bitch likes a nice long sticky pole
why use a tent that you have to pack poles for? tipis are simple and you can cut a pole at your site and then leave it. wyominglostandfound
you’re a moron
Can I come along with you on a camping mission? I’d like you to show me close up where to slide my pole in. And I bet our tent would never get cold. We can stick it up together and I promise not to rip your fabric
the polls are “basically” fiberglass, not metal !!??!

thanks for putting info out there for those that need it.
Well done. I’m glad you mentioned the ground cloth (footprint), and cautioned about being to forceful sliding in the tent poles. Great video, and very informative. Thanks.
