Ooooh, errrr....I don't think so is the answer, but I can check when I next put mine up which will be on the 26th.

The space between the poles is less than 6ft I think. However, with a decent roll mat I sleep very well in one.

You'll not get a camp bed in a pup tent. Tried it at Lichfield Barracks a few years ago and had to angle it across with my head just out of the front flap. Luckily, it was a fine night :lol:

I dunno, they look pretty close together to me.

Though there is large worldwide survey of people of Polish origin being undertaken. The first pole to pole Pole poll. :lol: Don't know quite whay that reminded me of that old joke.

Anyway my pup tent is also wrapped away in it's little roll, but I am just over 6 foot and have to sleep to either side of the poles, so I think it would be very unlikely to fit I'm afraid.

Get one of these: http://www.theoutdoorshop.com/showPart.asp?part=PN30911

Anachronistic, but far better than any camp bed. Not cheap though.

I reckon the poles are about 4' apart.

I sleep on the ridge of my pup tent, like Snoopy.

Yes, looking back that comment of mine is hardly relative to the quality of the tent, but the ground. Still, there are not may things at which I can trump my macho-ness... So I'll take what I can. :ghey:
