Shelter Recommendation

Nm

I will concede that one, and maybe alter it to further iterate my point that you have less chance of catastrophic failure.

In strong winds you are more likely to have a pole snap on a rigid structure (freestanding tent) than on a shelter designed to flex such as a tunnel or a hoop tent.
I find it funny how some rave about freestanding tents (advertised as "freestanding") that require 8-14 stakes to work correctly.
Always reminds me of Groucho Marx "who are you going to believe : me or your own eyes?"

BTW, just pile up some rocks over the ends of the Moment and it will stand up just as if you had stakes there (put something inbetween the tie=out lines and the rocks to avoid abrasion)
Then secure the guylines around a rock.
So no need for suitable soft ground in any particular spot.

Not only this, but with a freestanding tent you are less likely to have the stakes pulled out in the first instance. The stakes are generally doing less work.

On a non-freestanding tent, the stakes are having to tension the tent so that it stands up as well as resist wind loads.
