Does anyone have a recommendation for a reasonably priced tent in the four-person size range that will hold up well to strong winds? I have been going to Death Valley semi-regularly with some friends, and the last time, we got sustained winds that were probably around 40 mph, with gusts that were significantly worse. The rather old, six-person tent we were in was blown almost flat, and one of the poles broke. We had to sleep in the car. Not fun.
I'm hoping to find a replacement that will hold up if we get those kinds of conditions again. We usually go up in small groups (two or three people) so a four-person tent would be ideal. I've found a few tents that got good reviews for their ability to stand up to wind, but they were all quite pricy. I was hoping to spend under $200, but I'm not sure it's possible to get that kind of durability for that price. Thoughts?
