The taller a tent is the more wind pressure it's going to intercept - so you wouldn't use one of those in the hills - they simply shred!

The old canvas tents they had back in the day might have done, but modern tents are a little better. Mine is supposed to be able to withstand a force 8. I wouldn't want to test that out, mind!
