Tent stakes
What do y'all use for tent stakes?
Most of mine are 1/2 square stock made by the blacksmith....about 16" long.
Tipi used locust stakes about 1-1/4 in in dia......carved with bark left on the top end.........
Lately picked up some Coughlan's spikes...about a foot long for the Sportsman Guide Pyramid
Then today I found this.......Don't use them any more

That would certainly lighten the load.

Well, still need to work on Mrs H63....so far the reaction has been on the order of...."No booking way, Sweetie." (and when she says Sweetie, means like when a guy says, "Alright, PAL....this is what it is"

Yeah, I have a hunch that you would not be face up, and the walking stick would not be on your head.

Bhohahahaha....Could be correct.

I used a few types, the ones that I bought are usually lite weight and some are v shaped. However it depends where I am camping, sometimes I use the ones I DIY (simply by sharpening the tip and bending the other) from surplus construction materials, either the Y or R metals.
If I wanna loosen my load, I would use other tress surrounding my campsite or near my hammock or bamboo rods.

Ive used some aluminum tent pegs with good success.

I have used Couglans, sticks, and aluminum stakes, what I like is Screwdrivers long ones with big handles usally buy at garage sales, plus work great for multiple uses around camp.

I use aluminum mostly. Tents stakes and I have an odd relationship. If I camp in a campsite I always fight tent stakes. It's weird but I have a collection of them. All kinds.
