I have put up my non Freestanding hoop pole tent in such a wind . it was Like sleeping in a Flag ,
But I was in out of the wind itself ..
and I even asked permission from the Owner of the House Up-wind of me
if I could pitch my tent on the Lee Side of their house .. On the Irish West Coast.
... they brought out a Pot of Hot Tea .
Ah it did read like you are selling these things, and that is why you are defending it so vigorously.
