I often pitch dome tents on my own, and it can be a problem. The way I do it, is to do the first pole flat on the ground, and fit both ring and pins, then lift it and fit the second pole into the pin system. Then fit the front pole after. (all poles being fitted through the sleeves first)
Having said that, I have a Relum geodesic with five poles, and I managed to break two poles last week. Turned out I had mixed the poles, and had a longer pole through a shorter pole sleeve.
------------- Canvas tent, paraffin light, petrol stove. Heaven
I'd rather be kayaking.
Spent up, not pent up, just had my new tent up.
