[pct-l] tents: freestanding vs. staked

I'm looking into different ultralight tent options. The Big Agnes tent is
freestanding, but weighs over 2 pounds. Other options: gossamer gear,
tarptent, etc., are far lighter, but all require staking. Are there
environments on the PCT where staking is impossible? Is the extra weight of
the free standing tent worth it?

thanks,
Nina
