Dark church, two shooters, one tripod, and no flash

My first "light stands" were $20 plastic tripods from Walmart.  They were cheap and light, but didn't get nearly tall enough.  Still have a couple of 'em though.  They work pretty well for background lights. 

I ruined my first tripod from Wal-Mart when I got lost and had to spend the night on the mountain.  While attempting to find my way out in the dark, I got one of the legs caught in some very thick brush (I was 4' off the ground walking in/on it) and it just broke the poor little weak aluminum leg apart.  Snapped it in two, literally.  I went out and bought a Bogen the following week and have used it since, going on 4 years now.  I'll probably not go back to the cheap ones.

A broken tripod leg might work

My wifes idea of roughing it and mine are completely different too. I have gotten her to stay in a tent before. But I had to get this huge tent, air mattress, and enough light to land aircraft.
I'm usually good with a couple wool blankets, a big cup, a good knife, and a change of socks unless it's super cold outside.
