Sharing Tent Anchors
When setting up multiple tents, it’s best to share stakes/ anchors. Place all tents in a row side by side with all entrances facing the same direction. The side ties can actually tie to the tent next to it and the front and back ties can share a common anchor with the tent next to it. This system will reduce the number of anchors we need to carry. To further shave weight, use small nylon stuff sacks filled with snow and buried as a lightweight snow anchor.
