""I hike 90% in the sierra and for my Hexamid i use 3 vargo ascent V shape ti stakes for the main center and 2 front"
Jason – Out of curiosity, what determines which stakes you use for what purpose? (So three Ti Vargo in the front of the Hexamid, five Ti Shepard in the rear?)"

I am Jason, so I will answer this too.
Yes a.w., I use the 3 v-shape stakes for the front door and 2 front corners. I find that the front door and two front corners are the biggest stress points as they are going against the lean of the trekking poll. If there is significant wind i will just support the stakes with rocks.
