Re: [philmont] Gutter spikes Picture?The other benefit of the MSR spike is that the loops have reflective material woven in making it real easy to spot your tent ... unless , of course everybody is using them.
They are expensive ($20 for 8) though but they are light, durable, easy to see, hard to bend and, perhaps, the tent stake perfected. You can see it at www.campmor.com item 31203

Since the list doesn't support pictures, you'll need to go to google, select images, and select gutter spike ... it looks like a really big nail.

MSR also makes a very good lightweight stake which holds up well - it is red, with an I-beam type design and a handy loop. We pounded the tar out of them last summer 614-N5 and they were great.

Can someone who knows exactly what one of these looks like post a link to a picture of one please. I went to Home Depot and all they have are some big light weight nail looking things. This may be what everyone refers to when they speak of Gutter nails but I want to be sure before buying and trying them. Help please with a link. Thanks

Avoid the Zeus Exo or any other single walled tent, from my experience. Go with anything that is light weight and comes with a rain fly. Use the Gutter spikes as recommended before instead of the tent stakes that come with the tent.

Subject: [philmont] Tents
Any recommendations on lightweight backpacking tents? I have used Philtents in the past but would like to consider purchasing a tent that is around 4lbs or less. I am considering the MSR Hubba Hubba or Fling.
