What do you guys recommend to secure your tents? (If it matters, I've got two tents: ev2 and a northface mountain 25).
Books and trip reports say snow stakes, but aren't exactly very specific about them. Would love a recommnedation as I have not found anything on amazon or backcountry.com that really impressed me or looked much different than the steaks that came with my tent.
I've also seen things like this:
They look cool but heavy. Not sure I'd want to buy one for each guy line as well. Even 4 would seem like a lot.
Appreciate your advice and help.
