Go to tarptent.com/tents to see (can't post URLs yet).
Yes, I'm aware of them. Even considered one at one point. I didnt word things well, I just meant that any modern tent design is fast to put up.
Tarptents are most likely a bit more fragile than other tents that weigh more, given the weight of the materials, and then there still is the non free standing thing, which may or may not be a concern for each person, but they are astoundingly light and smart designs.
