    I've been out where other tents in the area took flight, blown away, pulled up stakes, sleeping gear and all. Habitat was fine.

    I was thinking this was actually your enclosure you said you ordered. If it is, WHERE THE HECK ARE THE PICTURES?!?!?

    Random hailstorm yesterday on an otherwise beautiful day. Was definitely nice having the habit for refuge

    I wasn’t really sure what to expect but I’m happy with it. Sure would have been nice to have at expo East the last time I went in the monsoon

    I felt the same way about the ARB Awning room sack. Thank GOD it fits. I gave up on the ones for our sleeping bags and fold them up in an underbed storage bag now.

    I just stuff my sleeping bag and pillow in a big ass osprey bag

    I got a bed divider last fall so I have a bin basically to just toss bags in. I’ll probably put Wolfpack’s across the bottom and the bags on top

    There’s a plastic hook that attaches on the lip of the habitat. Then there’s a strap that runs to the front to keep it in place. 3 stakes on each side and 2 in the rear.

    first time I set it up was 20+ mph winds, it is solid and only takes 5 minutes to set up

    Any of you have these vertical straps running up and between the hoops like in this screen grab below? Wondering if it might be worth adding it somehow.

    Also, as a little proof of concept I ran some kayak straps in an X pattern on the central hoop. Side to side motion on that hook became non-existant. Still very easy to get up onto the bed through the large open triangle. Thinking about maybe riveting D-rings up front and at the back to give more lateral support to the other two hoops as well. Guying from the outside doesn't look too promising, but something like this might work to internally stiffen things up.

    Would you mind taking some pics of them next time you have it open? Like where they attach to the aluminum shell and the hoops?

    I ordered a set of poles for my habitat enclosure so i can also use it as an awning. Should be here in a couple more days.

    Hopefully getting out to camp this weekend or next. It’s been far too long.
