Try that with a tunnel type tent. We've used both free standing and non- free standing tents, and find the free standing tents more than adequate. A good 3-season tent will hold up to a lot of abuse.
We also use our 3-season tent for light packing on ski tours. Same tent as the one our daughter is cleaning out while on a bike tour in the picture above.
