There seems to be some sort of an inherent lack of understanding
regarding the requirement to stake tents securely to the ground AS
SOON AS they are erected--not 10 minutes or an hour later.
...especially when "there was a nice breeze" blowing. Remember that
ships sailed across the ocean with a hundred people and substantially
less square footage of sail than the tarps on one of our 10x20 tents.
This is a no-brainer, folks. Who's not paying attention--raise you
hands.
A number of years ago several of us were camping near the top of
Guadalupe peak. One person (not me) set up a brand new North
Face dome tent and was standing back admiring it. A breeze came
by and the next thing was the tent was sailing over the edge.
Never found or saw it again ... OOOOOOOOOPS!
