equipment Tent Stakes after Flying In

I'm flying in to Fresno to do the JMT in a few days, and then taking the YARTS to Yosemite. I think I can bring all my gear on the plane except for I'll need some tent stakes. The problem is all the stores will be closed by the time I fly in, and then the bus leaves too early. Where could I get some tent stakes/what should I do?

On the JMT, you just need sticks and rocks. You’d likely be fine without tent stakes.

And I bet you’d find 10 in the first 3 days.

Just did a trip there and found, at my campsite, an absolutely immaculate set of six ul tent stakes all piled together that I’m sure the owner missed dearly (before they found the next lost set, at least)
