I’m planning a trip to Adak Island (Aleutian islands Alaska) and was looking for some input on pitching tents in the wind. Average wind speed there is 20-30 mph, but it does get much stronger. Specifically I’m looking for info regarding picking locations and building windbreaks and any other tidbits you’ve picked up regarding putting tents in places that are windy and exposed. I’m looking for things like avoid places where the mountains will funnel the winds and increase their speeds or using rocks as deadfall on top of the steaks etc. I’ve learned a few tricks regarding camping in the wind, but I’m sure I have a lot more I could learn too.
