Quote:

the question as stated ask what kind of stakes you guys use not what kinda stakes i need ill be the ultimate judge of that.


I use Eastons, Groundhogs, titanium needles, aluminum needles, cheapie plastic, cheapie aluminum "shepherd hooks", titanium shepherd hooks, snow stakes and sharpened sticks.

There's your answer, but how valuable is this information? It's no secret that different people use different stakes.
