After last night's high winds, it got me to thinking (while laying awake
thinking the house was about to cave in), what would be the best high
wind/rain (oh shit!!) kind of a tent?
I sell tents at work, so I am somewhat familiar with the geodesics, and
the claims of high wind resistance, etc.
Is there any of you "out there" who have experienced a serious storm in
a tent, and if so what kind was it? Or should I say, what shape?
Also is there any relevance to using glass poles as opposed to aluminum
for reduced lightning attraction?
*Someone* must have some type of meager statistics on this.
thanks in advance!
