Скачать или смотреть Extreme Weather Test! Tarptent Moment DW

What started as a late winter photo expedition turned into a test of fabric and tent stakes! We took quite a beating! The fierce winds blew most of the snow away, along with my nervous system! I was unable to sleep, so I was in desperate need of coffee by morning. Luckily, Carver's Gap parking lot was empty. I wonder why? I brewed a fresh pot in the back of my car, and got another gallon in Burnsville to make it home! All totaled, no damage to the fabric, one aluminum joint on the arch pole was bent, and one of those magnificent Easton tent stakes was slightly bent on the lee end. Over-zealous hammering? On the windward end, I double staked it, using a shepherd's hook on top of the Easton. That may have saved the whole tent! The ground was frozen. I brought a small claw hammer to pound them in. It was quite the lesson in extreme weather survival.
