Was in a good blow at Fraser Lk on Kodiak in a Guide tent. This model had fiberglass poles. We had it tied out as designed on good ground. The wind blew that thing flat many times until all the poles broke just above the stake pocket. That tent looked really sad after a night of that wind. Of course, then the rain started but the tent never leaked. A friend had a similar experience on the Kusko river camped at the base of the mountains. A williwaw hit his tent on the top and broke all the poles just above the pockets. I think the tent I was in was too tall for the size.
