Do Tarptents come with stakes and poles?
Yes. Every Tarptent comes with one or more poles, stakes, guylines, and a stuffsack. The Contrail, Squall 2, and Rainshadow 2 work best with front trekking pole support but if you are not a trekking pole user we offer optional lightweight and inexpensive front poles that can be ordered with the shelters. We recommend two of our poles for the Squall 2 and Rainshadow 2. The Rainbow and Double Rainbow set up securely with the 6 included stakes but those shelters can make use of trekking poles for deploying the porch feature or for free-standing setup.
