I have used these Copper Spur tents consistently for the last 13+ years exclusively in Southeast & Interior Alaska. Most of those trips have been in the Fall, where the weather can be dicey. The strongest wind we have been in was approximately 60 mph, with gusts over 80 mph near a glacier in the Alaska Range. We had placed 40-60 lb. rocks on all stakes, as well as attached the guy lines to similarly sized rocks. The tent help up very well. He have also been buried by 1.5-2 feet of snow. We had to knock some of it off of the top & sides during the night, but it stood up well. It rains a lot in Southeast Alaska (Rainforest) and the tent vents better than most tents. I really like the large dual vestibules for multiple exits. I have referred more than 40 people to buy these tents and never heard a bad thing about them.
