tent stakes

for those experienced campers, you'd shake your head at some of the novice wilderness trekkers on this trip.  as anyone who has spent a night in a tent in a storm would know, proper staking of the tent is vital to a sound night of sleep.  well, after two separate storms, people still haven't learned that your tent will blow away without the proper tether, even if you and your gear are still inside.  (i wish i had a picture of the tents strewn about the site after a good gust, but i was too busy lending a hand... and laughing to snap a shot.)
