Leaky Tent near Cascade Saddle, NZ
We could have died that night. February 1986.
Mick chimes in: "The humiliating details of the technologically advanced, super efficient, water tight (except to pussies) amazingly light (2 1/2 lb) tent are: In 1974, a patient with severe schizophrenia who I was treating on Medicaid (i.e. the overhead cost of treating her was far greater than the $35 I got from the state) left an empty pack of her Salems in my office and I noticed, while throwing it in the trash, an attached coupon with a notation that 100 such coupons were good for a "free" (excluding end-stage COPD, adenocarcinoma etc.) outdoor goods. Being curious, I called the number on the coupon and was sent a catalog which included this revolutionary tent. So, part of her fee became the next 99 coupons after which my life (and yours) was forever enriched."
