Yeah, I was curious about that. I have owned a TarpTent Rainbow for several
years. I use it for backpacking. I use trekking poles to turn it into a
free-stander. Great tent. Henry makes a lot of good stuff. If I get another
tent, I'm going for the double rainbow.

Hi Ray, good question. I was tripped up by that at first ("I can't
carry a trekking pole on my bike!") but it turns out there's an
optional collapsible shock-corded pole you can get with it which I
did. Tarptent says it weights 2oz. It rolls right up with the tent
(as do the stakes) so makes a nice integrated package.
A friend of mine got one of the two person Tarptents (can't recall
which) but he hasn't had a chance to use it yet, or I could report on
that model as well.
