Know what, next time you go touring take 22 feet of paracord. Paracord is a good thing to have anyways so it's not so bad. Spend a couple nights trying to find 2 trees with a diameter bigger than your fist to tie the paracord too. It would be a good indication of how difficult the process is. Remember, a stick on the ground is more than enough to stake out the rain fly. Twigs are strong enough, it's not weight-bearing like a tent stake.
