"It all depends" as they say.
If nature provides sturdy small sticks for tent pegs, and a ridgepole, and
man's rules do not forbid their gathering, then these will work well and you
don't have to carry them along. You will still need some cordage to tie the
edges of your canvas to the pegs (unless you have prepared loops).
Some areas such as pine or fir forests are short on strong straight
sticks, and other sites may not encourage cutting wood.
A ridge-rope has worked well for me many times. They do tend to droop a
little but the rope is easy to carry. Likewise, a small set of 1/4-inch or
3/16-inch bent iron tent pegs might be worth their weight if there is some
doubt about making pegs at camp.
The original mountaineers were described more as making "bowers" out of
spare hides or blankets, or holing up in caves, but we don't always have
free choice of camp sites. Draping canvas over bushes works OK, but ticks
drop off the branches underneath such bowers. Miller shows some wedge tents
in Drummond's camp so there is precedent for fabricated tents, if travelling
deluxe.
My best pack-in camps overall have been a wedge of canvas pulled over a
rope between two trees, or over a ridgepole if I can find one, and staked
down at the corners with sticks procured on site. Even with untreated
canvas, rain does not drip inside much if you avoid big wrinkles that trap
water.
Best regards.

Wynn,
As to pegs, it partly depends on the ground you're staking into. If =
weight is not critical and ground is hard, you can't beat iron stakes, =
at least the corners (I'm assuming a wedge tent). I keep a half dozen =
14 inch chokecherry stakes, about 1" diameter (and with a down turning =
branch stub to hook into the loops of the tent) rolled up with the tent =
and they serve in all but the hardest ground and don't really contribute =
much weight. Some places even double iron stakes in each loop are not =
enough. I remember one Wyoming night waking up 'here' with my tent =
'over there'. I've rigged with only a rope by knotting the rope inside =
the eyelets where the upright pole pins would be and then pulling taut =
between trees which works okay, and works even better after I figured =
out to put a leather disc on the rope to keep out (most of) the rain =
that follows the rope into the holes.

Thought the following story, about an Alberta horse trainer who's
fighting city hall for his right to ride a horse into town, might
interest you folks. He went to court not on a horse (as he'd
threatened), but in another, more legal way. :-)

Subject: Re: MtMan-List: Tent Pegs
Wynn,
"What did original mountain men do about pegs??? Wynn. I'm surprised you
would ask.. As is the case with most research things - especially the poorly
documented - they did as many different things as we do today. That is: one
man may approach the problem with a solution totally different from the man
right nexst to him. I THINK what you are asking (and the answers you are
receiving) is: What do people do today that would not have been in conflict with
historical correctness - and, what works??
For myself, the first time I ever put up my tipi at Old Trail Town (Cody),
Wyoming, I ruined every red birch pin I put into the ground. After that I
always took big timber spikes with me for that ground. But - the same place where
I pitched my tipi had been a Crow camp 150 years earlier and the rocks were
still in place in a ring where they had held down those early hide tipis. At
another camp near old Brown's Hole in late January, the ground was frozen solid
and I had to drive a frost pin to make a hole for each wooden peg before I
could drive it into the ground (surel held good, though).
Iron was precious in the mountains - and had weight. But perhaps one man
might justify eight iron pegs for "corners", while another might scoff at this
"luxury". It comes to this: We don't have pure information, but must allow
these men were all individuals and could solve their own problems - and they
were not dumb! (at least the survivors). If we are to follow their paths we get
to show the same kind of inovativness . . . "just keep it period" - no
plastic, nylon, aluminum, . . . . . .
More philosophy here than documentation, I'm afraid.
Cheers
Richard James

Wynn,
Don't forget about deadmen. I've used deadmen a lot up here where you
can't drive a steel stake and sometimes when we do they come out
looking like a C. I just make a loop of rope a foot or so in diameter
tied to the stake loop and stick a dead log through it then lay more
on that one as needed.
I've had my wedge for over 20 years and have set it up every way
possible and between trees isn't bad except you never seem to find two
trees just where you want them.
I used wood stakes for years (in the midwest) but they don't cut it in
most places in the Rockies or the west.
I've even set it up with the oars from the drift boat as poles. Ah,
canvas, rope and oars! How nautical!
For steel stakes 3/8" Hot Rolled square steel works great and is cheap
to buy and easy to cut and bend. Like everyone else says, at least
have good stakes for the corners and the ridge rope. #3 or #4 rebar
holds better but doesn't look as good as HR steel square stock.

I have owned a tipi for near 20 years and the best stakes I have found are
cabin spikes and I buy them at a "Lowes" or a store like them usually for
around a dollar apiece. Get the 12" ones, they drive in easy and hold good.
If they bend, you can straighten them just like you would a bent nail 'cause
that's what they be !!!!

Tom,
Thats a good tip about putting a leather disc on the rope to keep the
rain from running down the ridge rope. I never thought of that. But
then it don't rain much here in central Montana.
Do you thing a piece of twine or rope tied around the rope would work
the same way. And let the loose ends dangle down to direct the water,
sort of like a moose waddle?

Dennis, I checked out the new site too. It looks good to me. I'm glad
the original character is still there (and you too <s>). I hope you are
getting around better these days, I am...slowly but surely. Keep up the
good work. Yfab, Randy
