        similar to teepee style tents, trekking pole tents often use a single pole for its structure
        
        Popular with thru hikers because the pole serves two purposes and reduces weight
    - - Single pole tents. Some don’t have inner tents so are probably best suited for ‘fine weather’ camping.
    - - Using flexible poles is to bind them into semi-circles and stand them up in a line to create a tunnel tent. Very roomy and good for multiple people.
    - - the poles criss-cross over the surface, intersecting to form triangles. Very strong/stable, good for extreme weather conditions
    - - Has a pole at each end and sometimes a cross pole - the ridge-holding up a tent-shaped roof. Stable and easy to pitch.
    - - Bends a flexible pole into a half circle with both ends fixed to a strong tape or webbing strap running across the base of the tent. More headroom and wider floor area.
    - - A long, coiled, sprung frame is permanently fitted into the fabric of the tent. By twisting the frame, the tent becomes a circular package. These tents are not always the most stable but are good for quick and easy setup in mild weather.
    - - Can hold a flexible pole straight or be ‘broken’ to let the pole bend. The tent skeleton is permanently fitted to the fabric. Similar to a quick pitch tent and easy to put up.
    - - Have a central living area with several sleeping areas (‘pods’) leading off, like spokes from the hub of a wheel. Good for families. Heavier to transport and difficult to set up.
    - - Classic looking triangular tent with an A like shape, hence the name. Great for water shedding but are oddly shaped and not very spacious in the interior.
  - - - Prevents U.V damage BR
  - - - mesh walls allow for breathability
        
        many three season tents can be set up without a rain rly
        
        some three person tents can be set up with just the poles and a rain rly. this saves weight and acts similar to a tarp system
  - - - if camping in a remote area move campsites frequently to avoid damaging an area through over use
      - rocks snow and heavily used (already flat surfaces) are good options
      - avoid vegetation
    - - avoid gullies and river beds
- - - - For Solo Travelers (originally for mountaineering) (MK)
