How do those type of tent fair in high winds?

 

Nice pictures

 

Speaking for my CVT Mt. Rainier it does really well in high winds.....you just need earplugs otherwise you will not get any sleep.

 

It got pretty breezy and it held up fine. But, I also had the windows open so it was able to pass through and prevent as much "sail-ing". Didn't move at all as compared to my big ground tent. Gonna go to Grand Junction before too long on a bike trip, where it gets windy AF. I'll report back...

 

seems like the truck would be rocking back and forth or do you stabilize it some how?

 

All depends on how high you're setup, I.E. - larger or smaller moment arm. I was setup just above cabin height and it would rock slightly but not a whole lot. I also had Dakar leafs which are pretty stout and not a whole lot of flex with little weight.

 

My tepui ruggedized has held up to some intense wind gusts down in the Mojave. It was strong enough the ground tent in the group was blowing flat and you could see the outlines of their body's. My tent wasn't even struggling my truck however was rocking pretty good

 

Just let her rock you to sleep...

 

Which campsite were you at?

 

Somewhere along Coast Ridge Road - I have GPS coordinates but not handy if you were interested.

Definitely a great time to camp - wasn't too crowded (there were other people in the vicinity but not that I could see or hear so it's whatever) and the weather wasn't awful

 

Thanks for that! I think I have an idea of where it’s at, haven’t used my tent up there yet, soon hopefully!

 

Found a spot on the map and went exploring and it worked.

 

sand dunes baja mexico - flying paragliders

 

How long did it take to learn to fly a paraglider? Are you a rated fixed wing or rotary pilot as well? I've got my PPL with a few hundred hours of flight time and think it would be amazing to do paragliding, powered preferably.

yah, me too for sure. I do not like my beer polluted with lemon, lime or anything else.

 

Y'all are missing out. Pumpkin beer is awesome!
