Default OSH tie downs?

I'll be bringing camlock tiedowns but was wondering what to use for stakes.
Is there something that I can rent/buy/borrow at OSH or do I have to quickly fabricate something or bring some long heavy rebar and hope someone has a hammer?
any ideas? im heading out Thursday am early from Austin.

Default They sale them.

They sell them in the big hanger areas. I saw two or three different vendors last year. Probably want to be the first thing you do when you park.

Bring a set of stakes with you.

The ground looks like it is quite dry, thus hard.

awesome!
hmm.. so I'll PM you my phone number. I dont know of any other way to contact you there but if you text me I'll come on over and borrow your hammer.
I'm going to head over to academy sports and see about tent pegs. they have these 15" steel ones that may suffice. I'm nearly at gross so have to be super careful not to bust.
