I'm with rick on this one - I have sno-stakes for snow, and they're kinda nice, but really, if the ground is frozen hard I simply use deadmen for anchors. - a square of nylong with 4 straps sewn to the corner works great for this. either to bury in
the snow, or drop a rock or log on top of,

Pounding nails into ground is overkill. How do you set up
on rocks smile
