[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1346097, member: 54178"] Mike 338, Sorry this is late. That video you saw was of a Tarptent with NO guy lines and NO fly hem stakes. From my own high wind tests (steady 40 mph with 60 mph gusts per NOAA report) my Moment DW had no fly flapping, no pole bending and only a bit of flutter in the fly during the worst gusts. I sewed stake loops on my fly hem but all Moment DW tents now come with them. I also [I]always[/I] carry pre-prepared guy lines with small LineLoc tensioners and sturdy plastic snap hooks for the tent end of the guy lines. Good for a fast set-up at 0-dark thirty in a sudden storm. BTW, Tarptents that have the optional crossing poles (SCARP 1 & 2, Moment DW) can be freestanding with those poles.On both my SCARP 2 and Moment DW I have run the X-ing poles [I]under [/I]the fly for much more stability and snow load resistance. (See photos and text at Backpacking Light at [I]Winter Hiking forum[/I] (SCARP 2) and [I]Tarptent Forum[/I] (Moment DW). Eric B. [/QUOTE]
