Hilarious video shows one man’s battle to hold on to tent at Knockanstockan

It wasn’t a great weekend for July, with rain warnings and cold weather across the nation. Campers at the KnockanStockan festival had a particularly tough time camping out Sunday morning.

Spare a thought, so, for this chap who didn't peg his tent down properly at the start of the weekend - and had to valiantly battle the elements to keep his tent from doing a Wizard of Ozon him and taking flight.

We feel for him, but it's also hilarious.

The only thing keeping the tent on the ground was the poor lad's own bodyweight, and he eventually decided to abandon ship as it took to the skies.

How the cameraman's buddy managed to sleep through that apocalyptic storm we'll never know.
