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.

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 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.
