An easily deployable freestanding tent for individuals of all ages that is adjustable to accommodate use on varying terrain gradients. At least two collapsible arc-shaped frame members being connected support the tent, the frame assembly being connected with at least two movably securable devices that allow a user to adjust the apex of said frame members to provide a vertically upright configuration on sloping terrain. The frame assembly being constructed of lightweight high-strength materials and intended for use in recreation, commercial, and emergency use applications. Beneficially, users deploy this embodiment first by connecting the pole sections to form the frame members, then securing the top of said frame's apex by manipulating an intersection knot to a vertical configuration effectively setting the adjustable frame upright on even or uneven terrain, and further tensioning a main cord and adjusting a fabric cover as necessary to provide a durable substantially enclosed shelter.

1. An adjustable tent, comprising: a. A collapsible pole frame assembly comprised of a plurality of collapsible poles, said poles being interconnected at one or more intersecting points thereof; wherein said poles being comprised of at least two poles having equal or unequal length and thus having at least four pole endpoints are assembled in a way to provide a freestanding tripod base in addition to having one or more said poles cantilevered longitudinally forward of the tripod base;b. A first movably securable device interconnecting said plurality of poles at one or more intersecting points, said first movably securable device having means of limiting relational rotation of said poles to a predetermined angel,c. A second movably securable device interconnecting said plurality of poles, said device being fastened to the pole endpoints of said frame and movably wrapped circumferentially around at least two pole frame members, wherein manipulating the location of said device thus configures the pole frame assembly providing tension, rigidity, and a dome shape structure to the tent frame; and,d. A collapsible fabric cover with at least four vertices in shape being connected to at least one pole frame member, said cover having adjustable straps to secure said vertices to the base and endpoints of the pole frame assembly, said cover further including integral cord means to fasten said cover to said frame assembly, whereby a user can quickly setup the adjustable frame to stand upright on uneven or sloping terrain and configure said fabric cover by manipulating one or more movably securable devices to provide a substantially enclosed shelter. 2. The adjustable tent of claim 1, wherein said plurality of poles are comprised of a plurality of shorter connectable tube sections being assembled in series providing structural pole frame members to support said tent. 3. The adjustable tent of claim 1, wherein a first movably securable device is comprised of an intersection knot being used as a means of fastening said plurality of poles at their intersecting point, said intersection knot enabling constrained rotation of said plurality of poles whereby the intersection knot tightens as the plurality of poles rotate to a predetermined angle. 4. The intersection knot of claim 3, wherein said intersection knot securely holds the intersecting point of said plurality of poles in a predetermined or user defined location, said intersection knot further including a secondary knot tying a cord means wrapped around the intersection of said plurality of poles in a fashion that restrains relational rotation of said poles such that said poles are not rotated to excess in an undesirable direction. 5. The adjustable tent of claim 1, wherein said poles include an arch-shaped pole frame member perpendicularly intersecting a spline-shaped pole fame member, when erect said pole assembly providing a substantially dome shaped frame having a structural ridge frame member being perpendicularly supported by said spline-shaped pole frame member. 6. The adjustable tent of claim 1, wherein said plurality of poles further including an arch pole framing means of vertically supporting this embodiment structurally, wherein said arch pole is bent with downward force on both ends and held in a predetermined standing arch configuration by means of connecting both downward bent ends of said arch pole together with a cord. 7. The adjustable tent of claim 1, the second movably securable device being comprised of a main cord means that is doubled in nature due to tying both ends of said main cord together whereby the main body of the cord is doubled as represented by a corded loop, wherein said corded loop is held adjacent and parallel in essence as an elongated double corded tied loop, said double corded tied loop is fastened to at least two endpoints of said plurality of poles. 8. The adjustable tent of claim 7, wherein said plurality of poles further includes a spline pole, said spline pole being configured longitudinally over this embodiment's center axis as a ridge frame member, wherein said spline pole intersects said arch pole near the vertices of this embodiment, said spline pole intersecting and being configured above said arch pole and continuing longitudinally forward cantilevered to the front end tip of said spline pole, wherein acting forward longitudinally said spline pole is bowed slightly downward in a spline configuration due to manipulation of said main cord. 9. The adjustment tent of claim 8, wherein the frontal portion of said fabric cover being pulled taught by a tensioned frame assembly via the main cord fastened within said fabric cover, said fabric cover further being connected to the front tip and adjustably fastened at the rear end of the spline pole, said fabric cover further having at least two vertices capable of being advantageously drawn outward and fastened via guy lines to available terrain or features of the environment. 10. The adjustable tent of claim 8, said main cord being fastened to both the front end tip and rear end tip of said spline pole, wherein this embodiment each end of said main cord is fastened to each end of said spline pole, when not tensioned said main cord is configured in parallel near said spline pole being on either side of said spline pole, when tensioned said main cord is pulled in a substantially downward and perpendicular direction and thus applying downward force on each end of said spline pole causing said spline pole to bow in a spline shape. 11. The adjustable tent of claim 10, comprising at least two main cord wraps being a movable element of said main cord, said main cord wraps being the section of said main cord that circumferentially wraps multiple revolutions around one or more of said poles in at least two locations. 12. The adjustable tent of claim 10, further including one cord each wrapped circumferentially around said arch pole at least two revolutions, each of said main cord wraps being on opposite sides of said spline pole as intersected by said arch pole, wherein cord wraps comprise of said main cord perpendicularly wrapping around said arch pole providing a movable fastening point with increased or decreased gripping strength as applied when said main cord wraps are tensioned around said arch pole. 13. The adjustable tent of claim 10, wherein movement of said cord wraps is maintained along said arch poles axial centerline, whereby tensioning said main cord by moving said main cord wraps applies downward force being transferred via said main cord to both the front end tip and rear end tip of said spline pole causing said spline to bow into a spline shape.
