You must be out in the Mid-West if you can push those stakes into the ground by hand. Try that in New England, where the "soil" is about 75% by volume rocks... If you want to dig a hole out here the first tool you grab is a 6' iron pry bar... You would need a hammer or similar driving tool at the very least to set stakes here.

[@JTDOutdoors]

I have ne experience down there. I am in British Columbia and this is my back yard it's soft soil and grass. the mountains here sound no better then back there tho lol

[@kirkwaggoner7328]

@@JTDOutdoors Around here you would be better served with guy lines that you can adjust, be it with Prussic loops, taught line hitch or other methods. You have no way of telling where you will be able to drive a stake into the ground. First you have to set your stake (where it ends up is where there are no rocks stopping it) and then set your guy line and tighten it. I was simply amazed that you could just push the stakes home so easily. When I went to make an asparagus bed, I decided to sift the soil first. I dug down a foot and by the time I got done sifting all the rocks out I had about 3" of soil and a big pile of rocks. I'm in Eastern Connecticut where stone walls abound.

[@JTDOutdoors]

haha right!!

[@danneukirch4486]

That was awesome! Do you use the slippery half hitch / truckers hitch for this too when staking out? Your way is admittedly easier, but the other method you can readjust and tighten, which I guess is maybe only real important if the ground is hard and you don't want to pull the stake out and redo the tension.

[@JTDOutdoors]

no i use the marlin spike hitch for everything in this demo. once you get your tension dialed in its alot easier to judge where you want your stakes when pitching. i only use adjustable knots on more technical pitches.

[@danneukirch4486]

Cool thanks for the reply. I’ll have to try your method. I particularly like how you use the Marlin spike hitch for the trekking poles. Nice and simple and effective.

[@JTDOutdoors]

@danneukirch4486 very welcome I try my best to reply to every comment. leave a long tag end on the hitch then secure thay around the trekking pole after prevents it from slipping 👍 I didn't do it I'm this video as I was doing multiple pitches

[@vinightshade6026]

Hello!! If where I live there is a lot of rain and also gets pretty cold and windy at night, can I still use a tarp? Or is an actual tent more recomended?

[@JTDOutdoors]

that honestly comes down to personal preference. a tent would be a touch warmer for sure but there is also condensation to battle. a tarp you never really have to worry about condensation. check out my pinned comments and look at my survive any storm tarp video it shows multiple fully enclosed pitching options basically a floor less tent 👍
