[pct-l] tent stakes

[ned at mountaineducation.org]

We usually bring the lightest stakes we can find that will allow the 
staking-out of all the floor's and fly's main tie-outs (though none for the 
fly's high wind loops). Depending on the hardness of the "ground," the 
stakes are either placed in vertically or as "deadmen," horizontally. When 
snow-camping, we bring "sand and snow anchors" which look like fabric 
parachutes
