Tent for Wyoming

[roknHS]

Near Midwest in mid-October, I had to turn the pick-up into the wind before opening the doors for fear of getting them ripped off by the 50+mph winds. Later while in Casper, I'd see vehicles with door and front fender damage...........also engine hoods all crinkled up at the hinges.........wonder how that happened.
20mph wind is a normal day. 10mph is a very quiet day.

You might want to consider taking a kite if you really want a thrill.

If you do decide to buy a new tent look at Davis Tent in Denver, they have really good sales over the summer. You could probably sell a wall tent pretty easy later if you opt to buy. Yes the wind will blow but just be prepared.

I will for sure check them out. I appreciate it

I will say there is nothing more miserable than being cold and wet with no warm place to dry out. Hypothermia can set in quick in the wind up here. Get a decent tent no matter which you choose.

You aren't kidding about the wind. This year the wind blew about 60 MPH when we were there. The old burned tree's were snapping off like toothpicks! Dangerous situation, but something to see. Not much you can do it that much wind.

Like stated earlier, get out of the wind as much as possible. This past October me and my brother ended up moving our camper for fear of it getting ripped to shreads. The wind was buckling the roof panels. There was a severe wind advisory from the NWS with 60mph gusts and 35mph sustained. We moved closer to a cliff face next to a creek bed. It blocked most of the wind. No matter how stout of a tent you buy, get out of the wind if you can.

From my experience the 1 man Kodiak canvas swag tent is amazing in Wyoming wind. You'll sleep like a baby, I promise. Only problem is all you can do is sleep in it.

Although my Hilleberg Nallo 3 tent would stand up to Wyo hurricanes I pretty much gave up on tents while truck camping around 25 years ago. You may want to consider a truck topper? I'm totally out of the snow, wind, and rain plus am super mobile. If I want to hunt one side of a unit one day and 30 miles away the next day....all I have to do is park my truck and I'm ready to go. I also don't have to deal with setting up tents and putting stuff in a dry, secure spot out of the wind each day. I talked my hunting buddy into getting a topper for his truck after having nightmare experiences with his tent and camp last year.
