I am going on a moose hunt and Southwest Alaska and was wondering if the typical 6 inch stakes was sufficient for the tundra or if I should invest in bringing larger or longer stakes
Are these the same as the cyclone stakes? I did a search for the hurricane model but couldn’t find it. I experienced the same this this year in Alaska with all the rock under the tundraEverywhere I've been in Alaska I couldn't get an 18" stake in the ground. Even the tundra areas have been mostly underlain with rocks. The surface is spongy and moist but less than 12" below starts the hard strata. The best stakes I've personally used are the MSR Hurricane model. If you have decent rocks nearby I highly recommend weighting your stakes in windy areas. A 12+ pound stone on top of the stake will help prevent that slow working loose which happens in prolonged winds.
Yes, I'm an idiot. MSR Cyclone Stake.Are these the same as the cyclone stakes? I did a search for the hurricane model but couldn’t find it. I experienced the same this this year in Alaska with all the rock under the tundra
Haha no worries Kevin! Just want to make sure I got what’s been tried by people like you that are always up there!Yes, I'm an idiot. MSR Cyclone Stake.
That is all good KEVIN, we FORGIVE your mistake. Remember we don't call tornadoes,tornadoes anymore anyway! Lol certainly we can relate a hurricane to a cyclone...Yes, I'm an idiot. MSR Cyclone Stake.
