[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1408019, member: 54178"] Mike, I have a Tarptent Moment DW solo tent with the optional crossing pole shortened a bit and run [I]under[/I] the fly for better support. I also have a two person Tarptent Scarp 2, again, modified with both X-ing poles under the fly for the same reason. Much better fly support for high winds and wet snow load. You can see photos of these tents at Backpacking light. The Moment DW photos are in the GEAR forum in the "Tarptent Thread" and the Scarp 2 photos are in the WINTER HIKING forum in a "Winterizing my Scarp 2" thread. UPDATE: Yesterday's winds were officially 40 mph. steady winds with gusts to 60 mph. I've tested both tents in worse weather and they were fine, no pole deformity and barley any flapping B/C the fly hem was held down with 4 stakes in fly hem stake loops. [B]These fly hem stake loops are vital in controlling flapping in high winds in [U]any [/U]tent. [/B] Eric B. [/QUOTE]
