Pretty close. It's actually three poles that are about 4" in diameter lashed together with a single pole extension to support the center of the parachute. We either tied the outer ends to trees or staked out poles.
For the gear, I recommend bringing along your extreme patience case when the whoopie slings are made. Somehow the boys really struggle threading the amsteel and it takes at least 5 times longer than if I did it myself. But if I did, I would deny them the opportunity to achieve after getting past a big obstacle.
