[QUOTE="YukonGlocker, post: 2926311, member: 425"] If there are trees or big rocks, you can anchor your tent to those instead (with longer guylines). Sometimes it's better to have *longer* stakes, but drive them in at an extreme angle (i.e., very shallow). If it's too rocky for stakes at all, and you don't have trees/rocks to anchor to, pack large sandbags in your truck to anchor the tent to. I use a heavy tarp to cover sharp objects, cover that with a dedicated tent footprint, then put the tent on top of that. A 3" or 4" self-inflating mattress (because of the foam inside it) will mitigate all but the very tall/sharp objects under you. The smaller the tent, the easier it is to find a decent spot to put it (the downside being less comfortable, but usually worth the tradeoff)...smaller tents handle bad weather better too. If you try the truck-tent, please let me know how it works for you because I didn't care for the setup. [/QUOTE]
