Just wanted to add: *ALWAYS* bring weights to weigh down your tent! With the crazy weather the US has been experiencing, it's best to be prepared, even if it looks like a clear day.

“You will need lots of extra weight to hold your tent down – 300 lbs. minimum, but this is not enough for strong wind! Suggestions: you can buy large plastic water jugs from Wal-Mart. They weigh 50 lbs full. Tie ropes to these and attach to the top of the tent frame. Another idea: Buy some 4” PVC pipe at Home Depot and fill it with cement to create 60 lb. weights. Insert a large hook and hang one on each corner of your tent. If a storm or strong wind blows in, grab onto your tent, or else it could take off on you, like a hang glider!”
