Rick, Free standing or not free standing indicates whether or not the tent MUST be staked. However, my experience has been that if it is a free standing tent, you had better put something heavy in it to keep it from blowing away. They can usually be staked down too and I'll do that if I am going to spend more than 1 nite at that location. Hope this helps. Steve Rick said In the comparisons and descriptive literature, I'm seeing "free standing" and "not free standing". In a word... huh? Would someone mind educating me on what that means and what are the benefits/disadvantages of each? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
