i figured it can't be hard, and it would be cool when group camping...i suppose you could do it with a single pole in the middle and use stakes and guy-out lines to pull it out, but i was thinking more of something along the lines of a tripod, using a plastic tripod piece to hold them together at the top (kind of like the pieces that holds the legs of this stool):



where would i get the poles? aluminum is cheap...not sure how easy it would be to find some big enough (maybe 8-10 feet?)

there were a few at bonnaroo this year. looked badass.

it'd be cool to pass around a peace pipe and some other party favors from the medicine man in one.
