Carbon-Core™ Tent Stakes

I was skeptical about spending extra on stakes, but after hammering these into rocky Sierra soil without a single bend, I'm convinced. The carbon-core construction is genuinely as strong as advertised while the whole set adds almost nothing to my pack weight.

These things are stupidly light, but they still drove into hard-packed ground without bending or slipping. I swapped out my old steel stakes and saved a noticeable chunk of weight in my pack, and they haven't budged through two windy nights.

Dug these into sandy, loose soil and they held through a windy night without budging—the low weight is obvious the moment you pick them up. Couldn’t ask for more from a stake that barely adds to my pack.
