Reply to comment by NWbearbeard in Columbia River Gorge wind… by NWbearbeard

If you're going to use a pop up canopy, consider skipping the stakes and instead use sandbags or five gallon buckets full of rocks or concrete. When we use them at work, we always sandbag the canopies down, and that's not even in the gorge.

Yes. I’ve had a staked tent roll away with the people in it! We woke up sleeping on the opening, whole tent a couple camp sites away. I can’t imagine what that looked like in stop action mode.

So, yeah, buckets of sand to hold tent in place windy.
