Personal Tent Question


Recommended Posts

I was at an event this weekend (in the northeast), weather wasn't too bad, except that high winds were throwing everyone for a loop. I couldn't tell you how fast the gusts were, but they were bad enough that we just took down our fly rather than to keep worrying about stake pulling out, etc.

 

Most of the bigger tents were being given fits too, because wind could get up under the fly, inflate it, and then start pulling on those stakes too.

 

The one tent that was doing very well is an Alps Mountaineering tent (it may be an Extreme 2), which sits low to the ground and has a fly that goes all the way down.

 

Not that I'm trying to shill for them, but I've bought a handful of things from Alps Mountaineering's Scout Direct program, and I've been happy with every purchase so far. I wish that they'd disclose shipping charges on their form, but other than that, an extremely satisfied customer.
