RE: [Philmont]: tent stakes- gutter spikes

> Usually they run about $2 apiece, but rei-outlet has some for half that.

I looked at the site and they are listed as "seconds". I sort of have to
wonder how bad a cosmetic blemish would have to be on a tent stake to move
it from a "first quality level" to a "second"! I mean we are talking about a
piece of metal that is going to be hit with a hammer or a rock and pounded
into ground that may be as hard as my driveway! It's only going to look good
until you use it one time!

I bought some SIGG metal bottles from Sierra Trading Post that were listed
as seconds and for the life of me I couldn't see why as they looked perfect.
