Team Tent Pole

We lost our first tent pole at Sasha's 40th birthday. We did not realize the tent pole was missing until we went to set the tent up at our friend Michelle's wedding on Vancouver Island. The tent only had 2 poles and it could not very well be set up with 1. We had to drive to Canadian Tire and buy another tent to poach the pole from for the weekend. We returned that tent and got our money back. When we got home we stole a much skinnier pole from another tent. As long as the poles are taped together and then a pine cone is stuffed in one end, it works great. Unless it is windy, then the tent collapses on your face. To mitigate this we bought another 2 man tent. We took it camping this summer and I broke the pole the first night. Sadly no amount of taping it together would straighten it and it looked like a complete tent reject from the island of misfit toys. The dog hates it. Homeless people have better tents than we do. We persevere nonetheless. Love is like a tent with a broken pole. You can still sleep in it when it is wonky and crooked. Sometimes a little creativity, pine cones, and tape and not getting really mad goes a long way and you can live with it and make it better and carry on. Because love. #teamtentpole
