rock on top of you stake to hold it in the ground. or lay the 
stake on  the ground and put the rock in front or on the stake to hold it in 
place. This  will even work if your tent is on solid rock.  Also one could tie 
the guy  line to a branch and then put the rock on it.  About the only added 
weight  is if you make your guy lines a little longer to allow for these  
methods.

Switchback replies: Yes, I have tried all these over the years.  For  some 
reason I find the Velcro works a lot better in all situations to reinforce  the 
shelter stake.  I don't know, may be I am doing it wrong.  If I  could be 
guaranteed that I could get the stake deep in the ground, then I would  not need 
the Velcro back up.
