Ha! this blows. ;D  it will be tough out there.  Shanty anchors and a partner to hold the shack while you get it held down.  Pick locations where you can catch a break from the worst of it.
Spud one, spud two, if it went through, so will you!

My shanty took a beating last Suncday.

2 anchors weren't enough to hold my flip Clam Nanook last week.. My poles were bending, but luckily didnt ruin any of them.

will have to use an additional pair when I venture out this weekend.

I hate wind!!  Maybe I picked a good time to be down with the flu.

I was taking down my pop up shanty yesterday when it took off on me. Just by reaction I went to chase it and my right leg went into one of my holes I drilled.  Leg is sore today and bruised up pretty good.  Lesson learned...look before you chase after your shanty.
