Team Geared Up

LONDON (Team Geared Up) - Mountain Hardware have a Flickr stream worth subscribing to. Check out these photos they posted today of their Trango tent pitched in a trailer park during a storm. Look at how it’s standing strong while the trailers have been flipped upside down in the background. Marvellous!

The wind picked up on Tuesday (last week) and rocked my trailer more than usual. I finally decided to jump ship and looked out the window to find carnage in the RV park. My trailer was unhurt along with a Mountain Hardwear tent that braved the microburst, but several trailers were totaled and several more were moved up to 15′ from their original position. Most trailers lost skirting, anything left outside (including 2 ATVs), satellite dishes, etc. Luckily, nobody was hurt in the storm. The moral of the story is batten down the hatches (or buy a Mountain Hardwear tent!)
