Hi Tommy
Delta pegs are best for guy ropes only...If you use deltas for the main guys this is going to help, 12 is good but 20 would be better due to the pegs possible breaking/twisting in extreme ground conditions when putting them in.

Great clip but what gets me is the wind machine  .... If im not mistaken thats a Ford 302 small block V8 which seems a tad excessive seeing that they were fitted to muscle cars like the Ford Mustang. I would think if that thing really got going it would blow a soaking wet WL7 into the county 
Thinking about this its not really a very good test is it for real camping situations. A wooden base tucked in the corner of a building with the tent screwed to the deck. As others have said pitching on grass with normal pegs would be a more true test.

Hi 2gocampin
There has been a thread about the b,lake and the canopy has been talked about on there.In fact its on page 14 of "calling all bear lake owners" thread. Im sure someone will be able to do a link thingy.
The new front B.Lake extension is just like the front extension that available for the Outwell Trout Lake tent. Two bays and open fronted.
The new Montana Lake tent was so nice and I think will take over from the Bear Lake. Again a similar front open extension will be available for this new tent.

Thanks Gary,
Sorry not been on here for a bit so missed the thread but that sounds perfect. The Montana Lake sounds interesting though.

i know you can't tell us yet about the new Outwell range, but are you able to say which, if any, are being discontinued?
