If you can't get tent stakes in the ground it's a very good method to use logs. If the outer logs are made long enough, you can connect the corners to build a frame - this way it withstands quite strong winds without sagging like yours did. In very strong winds you can double/triple them and it needs a hurricane to lift it off the ground (saying of the day: you can't have too much paracord). I hope your luck turned in the meanwhile, stay safe and keep your glorious sense of humor

Ten years ago driving truck on highway.got hit by tanker 70 mph. Broke neck back. Never got fixed still in court. I watch your videos. Still go ice fishing to enjoy your camping style. Great video.

If you have metal stakes but the ground is frozen heat the tips only in the fire (hot enough to melt the ground but not hot enough the metal loses its temper.

I was once a candidate on a Canadian Forces Arctic Survival course in our NorthWest Territories located in the Arctic high above the Arctic circle, with weather conditions being in the MINUS 35 degree range not including any wind chill factor.....there were twelve candidates on the course including two from the Arctic Cadre of the British Royal Marine Commandos. Both continually moaned, whined and complained and did their utmost to avoid any physical work required.....again complaining and whining every day......the course supervising staff were two Canadian Forces Search and Rescue Technicians (aka "SARTECHS") and finally at mid course time, they called in a Canadian Forces SAR Twin Otter to remove the two "RM" candidates, crediting them only for "attending" the first beginning weeks of the Arctic Survival course, not as successful course graduates.....that "Return To Unit" (aka "RTU") of the two whiners, greatly raised the morale of the remaining candidates, all of whom, me included, became Arctic Survival course "graduates".......!
