Those Easton stakes make me very nervous. My Contrail came with them and the first time I set it up one of them came apart (and that was on my lawn). I used my vise to mush it so that it would stay on, but the experience left me feeling uneasy about relying on them in the wild. I replaced them with GroundHogs due to some recommendations here. I may have had the only Easton stake to fail ever, but a one-piece stake has zero chance of coming apart, and I like those chances better that one in a million.
