What do you use?  I've always thought there was a weight penalty for free-standing....

  I never thought a free-standing tent was important until I had one.
  Now I wpuld rather not do without.

  I also never ran into a shelter so full of tents that I could not use it.

  But I would rather see a tent in a shelter than crap in a gap. that's
  just disgusting!
