Lightweight stakes perfect for the UL hiker/backpacker!

by Dr. S., Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on January 14, 2018
This is my second set of these UL weight stakes. They are great for SoCal backpacking, where most of the soil is dirt. However, I would not suggest using them in rocky, or shale conditions, as they are more likely to break. Also, I would not suggest using a rock or hammer to drive them in, as the top plastic head will not stand that abuse. I use a mix of Ti stakes and these.
Pros:
  • Super lightweight !
Cons:
  • Somewhat fragile
Best Used for:
  • Softer ground, dirt surfaces
Would recommend: Yes
