watching a recent video from Shug. He's playing with some warbonnet tarps that use spreader bars for tarps
starting at about 11:40.... https://youtu.be/EfNTbomtRIY?t=11m47s

So this spreader bar got me to thinking about doing something similar with the guy outs on a tent, like my new duplex. Maybe a way to get a little more room in the tent and keep the overall trip hazard footprint down a bit...

So simple but I've never thought about it with other tents I've had in the past.....

thoughts?
