Ok guys, this is my first post out of DIY section.
In place where I live, strong winds aren't usual. This weekend I camped for two days with wind speeds up to 20 m/s (44.8 mph; 72 km/h) and with temperatures 2 Celsius (35.6 Fahrenheit).
After fully tensioning my tarp it looked like this:
On both days I used UQ with waterproof cape pulled to the hammock from the wind side. Slept cosy but on second night the winds were that powerful I slept under 45 degree angle I think. So Used my underpad to cover the wind. Probably it would have been more comfortable to sleep chained to working tractor on a field but, got my sleep.
Tents in the camping site weren't in that good shape that my tarp was
Some wind got through from underneath the tarp.
I'm thinking about mounting torm flaps to tarp or making a longer tarp that You can use with more pegs to shade the winds. Also, is there any good and lightweight solution for UQ extreme wind protection?
Oh, and happy hanging holidays
