It’s almost as if we should be providing these for free to less fortunate folks.

I remember one time finding a posting on marketplace looking for a tent as someone ruined theirs the night before. I had extra camp gear so I contacted them and hooked em up with a tent, sleeping bag and an air mattress. They were so sweet, I felt so bad for them and wish I could of helped them more.

That sounds like some shitty material science, or corner cutting. Probably both.
