I have an 8 man seek outside teepee that I've used on a few hunts. I have usually loved it. However, this last spring I had my seek outside 8-man teepee, and my wife and I were in the back country on a bear hunt. The wind was horrible. One night we were up most of the night. The tent was about to come out of the ground and blow over. She held the center Pole while I held the edges of the tent down. The next day I had it guyd out to boulders, trees, stumps anything I could find. It held up the next night but I wouldn't say it was exactly sturdy. Still made for an uneasy night of sleep with the rain coming down and wind blowing pretty hard. I have ordered two sets of the twisted stakes. I will for sure guy it out before I think any wind will be coming. I love the stove. However, it makes me wonder if I even want to deal with it this spring on our bear hunts. I have a Hilleberg, and why you can't stand up in it or use a stove there is zero worries with the wind. Have you guys had trouble with seek outside teepees in the wind? Has anyone tried the twisted stakes? Do they make that much of a difference?
