LOL, I remember that video and was reminded of it when I watched this one. Keep going with your series, I'm loving it.
Three days of wind like that? You have your tenting down solid. I just bought a hammock tent, never tried that kind before. I was picturing how it would be swinging in the wind, probably turn me into a kite.
Yeah, it just didn't let up. I was checking my tent pegs every hour or so during the day and hammering them back in as the wind pulled them out. At night I figured my body weight would hold things down even if the pegs ripped out, and I was correct because I woke up one morning and two of the four corners were completely loose. It was a weird three days. I couldn't move the tent because if I tried that the wind was so strong it would have blown it away in the process. And I couldn't park my car in front of the tent to block the wind because there wasn't enough room to do that where I'd pitched it. So I just stayed and watched and waited 😆
That's intense wind. You did an amazing job, every freaking hour, wow! My body weight would never cut the mustard to hold much of anything down. I think if you'd try to move it, you would have ended up hang-gliding with your tent. Nothing else to do, than wait it out.
I just bought a hammock tent. In that environment, I would have been airborne in seconds.
