what tent stakes to buy?

Groundhogs, or to go lighter look at the Lawson burly Ti shepherd stakes.

MSR Groundhogs are pretty damn good stakes IMO! Hit some gnarly rocks setting my Megatarp up to seam seal in my yard and they didn't seem to mind.

I use these too, but they are really hit or miss depending on the soil that you're in. On well packed soil, they're great. On looser/loamy soil/sand they don't do a very good job relative to a stake with more surface area.
