what’s your worst dining experience?

i was in Steak n’ Ale in one of their smaller rooms…….. at the large table everyone was really tying one on. the guy at the head of the table started laughing so hard, he choked on his food. some guy did the hemlick manuever and the food and vomit came flying out. it was projectile vomit and his head was spinning. we scurried out…. i found out from a friend that worked there that the group sortof cleaned the mess up and kept eating.

Where can I buy just a simple old-school dining fly for camping? Basically looking for just a tarp and poles!?

I need something for a small group to use for rain, wind and sun shelter. It should be small enough for easy backpack camping. I don’t need the bulky “easy-ups”, or a screen room. I am picturing 4 poles, preferably something telescoping or shock-corded, that can be tied off to stakes. The cover tarp could be treated nylon or something else? The old canvas ones I used as a kid were pretty bulky, but they worked! For some reason, this has been tough to find!

Wal-Mart and Target have those reinforced plastic-coated ground cloths tarps with grommets, that may work OK, but no poles, at least none that any employees could locate for me!
