During the tent discussion prior to my trip last week, it was mentioned by a few that they just push the stakes into the ground. I didn't comment at the time, but my reaction was "Huh?!?!?!". In my neck of the woods, we have so much hard clay, that it recently (early Fall) took almost 2 hours to dig a 2 foot deep post hole with a manual post hole digger. Yo don't "dig" the soil, you basically chip away at it and scoop up the debris. It's not like that everywhere around here, but it is like that in many places around here. Unfortunately, my yard is one of those places.
