Yea I get it. Short + VHF doesn't exist. Best short antennas are transit mounts (ETRAB4503 for example) but they're only single band and the VHF ones kind of suck. Ok actually the VHF ones really suck.
How often to you put the tent on? Does the tent have anywhere you can mount the antenna? Stainless Steel L bracket like the Laird LBT8U, stainless screws, some Lexel to water seal everything is always an option.
