In punishing winds, reinforce your position by lashing a climbing rope back and forth over the tent.

I guess a little bit of give on the lines is a good idea.
I've been seeing some really light weight tent fabrics in the market. I wonder if those would rip in even moderate winds!
Anyone has experience with those one pound tents?
