[pct-l] PCT - Hard Dirt?

[Wally Neal]

I just got a new tent & took it down to the park to check it out & practice
setting it up. Wow! Was it ever difficult to get those tent stakes into the
ground. We've had no rain here in a very long time, as is the case for most
of the PCT. Is driving tent stakes likely to be a common problem? I'm
thinking about taking a 5 in. tile roofing nail to use to create most of the
stake hole, putting the tent stake in that and then driving it the last inch
or so.
