[at-l] Re: Tents

I 've thought about getting a Clip Flashlight except for one thing:  it's
not freestanding.  I always liked to be able to shake out the little bits of
debris that find their way inside the tent, or to be able to move it once
it's set up on a not-quite-level place.  Does the lack of being able to do
these things bother anyone with a non-free-standing tent?
