Tent stakes
December 1st, 2009
More campers prefer freestanding tents nowadays because these are easy to set-up. They are also available in a variety of types and configurations. You simply have to put the tent together then place it in any location before staking it to the ground. Tent stakes are necessary to prevent the wind from blowing the tent away.
Another advantage to freestanding tents is the ease of disassembly and packing. You simply have to pull the tent stakes off the ground, fold the poles and roll the tent fabric. With some practice, freestanding tents can be packed away efficiently with the rest of your camping equipment and you’re ready to go.
