Just bought this tent for a trip to the AT in a few weeks. Set it up at home and it looks awesome. Question is, are the stakes that come with them reliable or should I invest in others stakes? They just look kinda small. Thanks for any help and advice you can offer!

I upgrade all my tent stakes to the MSR Groundhog. I've beaten on them with everything I could throw at them and I've never had a single one bend or break. I high recommend them.

The stakes that come with the Copper Spur 3 are different than the one's that came with my Pine Island. The Pine Island was traditional aluminum stakes with the curved hook on the end. The CS3 stakes are ultralight, much different design, and pictured in the CS3 description page. I have no idea how they will work. I have other stakes I could take along, but want to trust BA if this is what they included. They include 10 stakes, only 8 are needed.

I own a BA tent and I am pretty sure they use the same stakes on all their tents. They work pretty decently, I haven't had one bend yet. It's not a bad idea to carry a spare or two though just in case.
