It’s time to take it down!
Tent poles may appear like the most vital portion of a tent, however this is untrue. I have no idea what will the individual speed doing with the site of the tents flying in the air, I guess they would be smiling in laughing helplessly because that’s the only thing they could do right now as catching and getting back the tent, flying so high is nearly impossible.
Even if your tent’s poles can protect it from blowing over in a high wind, they can’t ensure that it won’t. You need pegs or you’ll have to watch your tent fly like a kite. The individuals have learnt a pretty good lesson for the next time they choose to camp.
