Laser comp is my ultimate safe haven. I remember sleeping in a wild alpine hailstorm on a campground in Aspres-sur-Buëch. The family next to me had their tent completely destroyed quite early in the storm. They had to spend the night obviously not getting any sleep, watching their tent and stuff get ruined from their car with the two young daughters. It was a horrible night for them. Aside from the occasional wakeup by a blast of thunder I had a great night sleep and my tent stood steady as a rock in a puddle of mud. My sleeping bag got slightly wet but that was out of my own ignorance as I didn't pitch the tent very well so that the outer and inner tents were rubbing each other a bit in the wind.
Yes it can take a while to get a perfect pitch, but I love the tent and it packs in under 2 minutes for hasty mornings. And boy it is light.
