This summer I'll be camping on South Bass Island on Lake Erie. I went last year and had a really hard time getting the stakes through the VERY rocky ground. We also had a big rainstorm with high winds, and I thought that the tent and I were going to be airborne!
Obviously I'll need to replace my tent stakes. I've narrowed it down to three choices and would like to hear your opinions: rebar stakes, Monk military stakes, and landscape spikes. The spikes are the cheapest, and I can pick them up at the nearest hardware store; but the other two have gotten rave reviews.
I've got the Walmart version of the Coleman Instant tent (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trai...eps-6/34109042). It's pretty tall, so it's a nice, big target for wind buffeting.
Any advice you can give would be most welcome!
