RE: [at-l] thots and questions

I do something very similar.  I tie a couple of feet of nylon line to each
webbing loop on the tent with a bowline.  I've never had any luck getting
all the stakes in the "canned" loops... it seems like two or three go in,
and then you hit a big flat rock just under the surface.
