Ultralight Titanium Tent Stakes 6 Pack - V-Shaped Tent Pegs with Reflective Pull Cords - Made for Camping

I love these! This is now the second set I have purchased. Suggestion: I would like to see these made about 10-12” for a stronger hold. They could also use a lip at the top so it’s easier to drive into the ground. I like the case, however, to reduce noise, a soft case would be perfect!

So these stakes are very lightweight. Less than half the weight of the aluminum stakes that came with my tent. And when trying to shed pounds, every ounce counts. Upon my first use though, I did notice that some of the stakes bent. Not major that they were unusable, but enough to notice. But these stakes did drive into dried mud easily, with the help of a nearby rock. And they never came out once put in the ground, even in softer ground. The one thing I didn't like was that these stakes came in a fancy heavy aluminum case. It's all pretty and everything, but I'd rather have had a few extra stakes than the case.

Limited real-world experience with this item but my impression, after using it to set up my tarp-tent for a day is: very lightweight (added very little to my pack pack), sturdy, and long enough to secure in soft ground. However, the cords supplied were loose and I had to find just the right non-slip knot to attach them (a normal square knot failed). But the notches on each stake makes it easy to pull out with a loop of 325 paracord from one to the other, my preferred method always. A good addition to my kit.

I took these out for the first time on a camping trip and they are very lightweight and seem sturdy, but having them around a few scouts during the weekend the stakes came back bent and broken. The stakes are also fairly more difficult to drive into the ground because of their shape and design. They also hit rocks much more common than traditional metal stakes. I love the theory of these stakes and in review I should’ve not brought them near younger scouts potentially due to them not watching where they step.

Comes well packaged in a small tin for storage which is nice also none of the stakes are pre-tied with a knot which is nice. At first I was a little skeptical if I would bend them when I initially sunk them but no bends with minimal wear after 3 camping trips. Definitely a good buy if your looking for ultra light gear.

These stakes are very light and I'm sure they work well in other areas. The rocky and caliche soil in Arizona proved to be tougher than these stakes. They bent immediately. The steel garden stakes and large heavy duty tent stakes worked better for us.

I was really impressed with these, they are light and sturdy. I had to pound one flat with a rock so that they could make it through my tent's door tie downs...it took some doing. It comes with reflective line to make pulls which I used but then ditched in favor of having them pack flat inside each other. The stakes comes with a stake pouch and aluminum tin. Both are pretty neat but not as light or useful as the stakes themselves. There may be lighter stakes out there but the price is right and the stakes are quality.

They’ve withstood a good pounding into hard clay and did not bend. But, once you attach the tethers, the won’t fit in the case.
