I ordered a MacCat Deluxe and just realized that it does not come with stakes and was wondering what people recommended to use for stakes for the tarp? Thanks

I don't think that the choice of tarp determines the choice of stake. For general purpose use I have found that the MSR groundhogs are the best. http://www.rei.com/product/682543/msr-ground-hog-stake I used to use the little titanium stakes that look like a shephard's crook but they don't have enough staying power in the wind for me.

different stakes for clay, rocks, sand or snow... or just trail sticks... up to you.
I use the Hammock Forums imitation groundhogs. Light, strong, easy to find (orange), and a little money to help support the forum.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I think I'll get the MSR stakes from the local half moon since i need them soon and the forums store only has 4 in stock. Looking forward to trying out the tarp!
I have the ti stakes that lawson outdoors sell. very happy with them
Naeblis, I'm a fan of the groundhogs as well, they're a good choice!
I like the ones at DIY Gear Supply!!
Just looked up the MSR Ground Hog, they look like the same, only the DIY GS are blue and cheaper!! I am color blind and the blue shows up better if dropped.

Anyone know where I can buy the MSR Ground Hog Stake Kit here in Canada (I'm in Toronto)
Tried ordering them online from the states but the shipping seems to cost more than the stakes and in some instances it seems retailers aren't allowed to ship to Canada.
