    It can actually be viewed as more of an insult, but whadda I know, I camp from my truck!
    Understandable, but one would also have to agree that calling someone a weenie is a bit of an insult also right? I've been starting to get used to being called a gram weenie now and it doesn't bother me much anymore but I figured if people can dish it then they can take it also right?

    But I think we are drifting a bit far from the topic....No worries. My intentions wasn't to insult anybody but rather to find out if it was worth me buying all the materials to build a TD stand vs continuing on my pursuit to design something similar with lightweight materials. If the TD stand was say < 15 lbs then I would just go with one of those but if it is > 15 lbs then I'd rather put the time into making a UL version.

    I am building a TDS for use at Burning Man this year with my tablecloth GE hammock. As space under my shade structure is at a premium, I was going to set it up every evening to sleep in and take it down every morning when I woke up and dismantle it and stow it out of the way.

    My question is how long does it take one person to set it up and take it down? I suspect that it is a fairly simple and quick procedure.

    Now, this is a tough answer and depends on your state of mind. Are you asking as an attendee- might take a long time if the poles are moving like snakes

    If your asking as a camper just arriving at camp- the poles might be the receiver of a frustratingly long drive

    If your asking from your driveway- a couple minutes

    I made a little kayak buggy/trailer once with wheels. Would be simple to make one for stands and what not.

    XT, I don't have a way to weigh my stand. Probably someone will. It definitely weighs in excess of 20#.

    Burning Man might be a challenge at that. Playa is soft and high winds likely at some point. Long stakes probably a must.

    Quick to set up though.... depending on your condition...

    Kayak cart/wheels was exactly what I was thinking about when writing that post

    Wonder if just hopping on the scale in the bathroom while holding the TD stand would work.

    No offence meant with the gram weenie comment, I hold gram weenies in high regard.

    So you are saying it might take me months to set it up every night? Gotta love Burning Man!

    Thanks?
