Just realized my old tent stakes were the whole problem
Was packing up after a windy night near Lake Tahoe and watched three of my cheap twisted stakes bend like wet noodles, while my buddy's plain V-stakes stayed put. I read a forum post later that said stake shape matters more than material for most soils, and suddenly all those floppy vestibule nights made sense. Anyone else finally swap out their starter stakes and notice a huge difference in storm stability?

Swapped mine last season and the difference was night and day, but I'm curious what soil you were dealing with at Tahoe. Was it loose sand near the shore or that packed rocky dirt further up, because that changes which stake actually holds. Tell me what shape you ended up going with.
