Quote:The myth of the linen roman military tent is perpetuated by groups who do not want to invest in an authentic tent. If they do go the cheap route, they should at least 'fake it' and paint the canvas so it resemble leather.
yeah, sure would be nice to have that kinda money! When you're married all the $$$ for the über-fun stuff kinda just goes away and ya gotta make it work. I DO like the idea of painting the tent to look like leather. When I win the lotto, I will buy 3 leather tents, but until then...
