I am thinking about attending LDRS39a (if there is one in 2021) and wondering about shelters on the Salt Flats. I have this model from REI and it has worked well at other launches:
https://www.rei.com/product/882198/caddis-rapid-shelter-10-x-10
It is heavy (55lbs) with steel construction. There are no lash points for additional tie downs, however.
I use 10" stakes like these, 2 per leg.

Will this setup cut the mustard? Does the salt require a different kind of stake? Are additional tie downs required? (Not sure how to attach those on this model of shelter.)
Lastly, is a mat of some kind to stand on under the shelter a good idea to help keep things a little more clean?
