I love the pictures from your trip. These happens to be my some of favorite places to visit.

I really enjoyed your trip writeup and pictures. Sorry to hear about your tent, and not sure if it's damaged/destroyed or if you are still using it. It's hard to know how much tent you need without actually experiencing the conditions, but it's clear your tent wasn't up to the wind. Glad your Claw tiedowns protected your airplane.

The company that made my tent are no longer in business, but it's very similar to this North Face tent, a 4 season mountaineering tent. This kind of tent should withstand any amount of wind.

Yeah, that one looks capable! Looks like a beast! My Big Agnes turned out fine. Seems that the supports just shifted, but didn’t break. I actually opened it all up and inspected it at Vlad’s house. I subsequently used it at Grapevine. It was fine.

For plane camping I can't say enough about the North Face VE 25. Mine is 30 years old this year and still looks like new. It's been up Denali and down the Grand Canyon. When the wind blows it does not collapse. The Claw is a really good tie down as well...sound like a great trip.
