Argos tent at Burning Man: equipment report

I noticed that Message-ID: <[email hidden]> from
Usenet contained the following:

Quoted message said:

Tent considered sacrificial at the end of journey (more room for other
things), but would buy one again for the same (dry) purpose.

My daughter bought a £20 tent to go to V. Split 3 ways and having
sustained a rip, this was also considered sacrificial at the end of the
event. ;-)

Goodness knows how they even managed to erect it in the first place...

So, took the 3-man £30 jobbie to the middle of the Nevada desert, staked

It wasn't the 1 man Pro Action one then?

No, I have a Hilleberg Akto for times when carrying it myself (and love
it to bits), but for a week in the desert you definitely need the space
of a 3-4 person tent or some other kind of shade structure.

(For those who don't know it, Burning Man is an alternative festival
located in one the grimmest and inhospitable places on earth, with no
commerce allowed on-site, and where you and 35,500 other people portage
all your equipment, food and water (lots of water!) in and out.
You feel you deserve a medal just for surviving let alone joining in
with the festival and making merry.)
