 So low tunnels…
Not great for an open field…. I think my marriage is still intact but tested, unlike the tunnels. 

We will try again, from the ground up when it's not so windy. 

At least the kids were outside and those birds are cool, like the bald eagle in the second photo

 Oh no! All that hard work! But, you've learned and can improve your technique.  
 I hope so it's just a learning curve. No one was hurt and nothing broken. 
 Might need to bury the edges... Which sucks for venting. Did you have anything attached to the hoops, like spring clamps? 
 We used bungee cords attached to the bottom of the conduits via zap strap and clip. We don't believe that the tunnel was low or deep enough, the ground is still frozen / loose. 
 Spring lock wire & channels are a worthwhile investment, if you haven't considered it.  
 Man, that’s tough. I hope everything is reusable and the next plan works a bit better. I just started reading “Growing Under Cover” Niki Jabbour - good read so far! 
 Niki is sooo good! Yeah nothing damaged but my ego ( the wives is intact lol)
