I have this tent, and when I camp above timberline in the winter, it gets rocked by wind. Do I not have it guy-ed down correctly? There are obvious places for stakes at all four corners, and a loop up the tent wall half way on the long sides to attach a guy line too. Even setting it up tightly with that configuration, wind is able to pick up the middle of long tent wall and shake the tent more than expected. Suggestions? Seems like there should be one more stake-point on the ground on each side.

Maybe place your pack or some large rocks, or maybe pack some snow just high enough on each side, to cut the wind from getting underneath the tent there ... ?
