You might also add a snow stake to tie your sleeping bag to. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I've been in an exposed spot with 50 knot winds and it got under the tent and rolled me around in my sleeping bag! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

The problem is that if the plastic "flaps" it will rip and a flat piece of plastic is gonna flap in a strong wind. Having your tent disintegrate around you is a bad thing. I know a guy who camped in maybe 150 mph winds in Iceland. He staked the tent down but could only crawl into it without poles. He had his radio next to his body in case his sleeping bag was ripped away. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

So it all depends on the wind. One thing I like about my Bibler is that I can get in and out of it in a windy snow storm and keep it dry inside, as long as the vestibule is attached. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

oh and it is often tied out to buried branches stomped into the snow. Or nailed down with skis.
