   • Close Open Zippers. We too sometimes forget it when the tent comes out of the packsack after hibernation in spring: You should close all zips before tensioning the tent.
   • Pack Enough Pegs and Lines. Many tents do not come with enough tent pegs and guy ropes from the manufacturer to anchor all the attachment points. You may have to buy some more.
   • Make the Tent Long! The tent is most stable when its base is as large as possible. For dome tents: Anchor one corner of the tent to the ground with one of the loops attached to the tent near the ground.
   • Tie Off Zippers Crosswise. Anchor the two loops at the bottom of your zips crosswise to the ground. This takes lateral tension off the zippers. Secured in this way, the zips close reliably even when the tent is tightly secured with storm cords or strong winds tugging at the tent.
