[Artemisia] Tent Opinions

[Dame Theodora]

I didn't mention the Springbars becuase they are *quite* expensive for one comaprable to the size Aurora first mentioned.  However, they are extremely functional, durable, and easy to set up.  They pack down fairly well, but the springbars can be pretty long, depending on what size tent you get.
