[Philmont] Market for tent stakes?

Jim,
You want to make sure you bring your own stakes. You don't mention if you
are using philtents or your own, but if you are using Philmont issued
equipment, make sure you bring 8 stakes (plus a couple spares) for each
tent, and 10 for the dining fly. Crews would generally bring what worked on
their shakedowns, and reuse them on future adventures, so I doubt you would
find any in base camp

Have a great trek, and keep your last minute questions coming!
