 I can remember a number of places where I was extremely glad that I didn't
have to try to drive pegs in; but the big deal is how many times in the
middle of the night when I got up to take a leak and DIDN'T trip over the
lines getting in or out of the tent.  Also I would not have been able to
take advantage of the best tent site on the whole AT which was a bed of moss
the size of my tent on some otherwise very hard rocks overlooking the
Shenandoah valley. Dr Doolittle
