It was really windy and we were afraid the tent would blow away.
Did you end up setting up the tent?
Yes we did even after I thought it was a bad idea.
Your intuitional was telling you the wind was too strong for the tent and you made a bad decision when you erected it anyway. Wait until the wind dies down and set up camp when the weather is calm.
But I just wanted to get the tent up cause it was time consuming.
It could be very dangerous if the wind pick the tent up and throws it into a tree or somebody. Did you know they make pop up tents? You just unzip it and you can steak it down really quick.
