How much does one of these 8 man leather tents weigh?
Could perhaps one soldier carry just the tent but be relieved of most his other equipment to be carried by his mates? And have the duty rotated, assigned to newbe, or whomever is on the centurians shit list?
Oh, I personally like the idea of the furcas being used as tent poles. If the cross pieces aren't connected with a rivet it would be a reletively simple matter to tie and untie them. There are knots that will hold every bit as well as a rivet even on un-notched poles. Maybe better. Plus you have the rope handy for the tent as well. Just seems efficient to me.
