Ti stakes

[Trail Troll]

I use the 6.5" Ti from Lawson. Never bent one and I live and camp in rocky terrain. I have also used the Ti nail stakes and like them, too.
As far as losing them, I always drive mine almost flush with the ground and put a decent size rock over each one to add holding power.

I think I only bent them due to the stumbling over the cords. Actually this drove me to get reflect it from Dutch to use on my nail stakes.

I'll have to check some of the carbon fiber out, I like having a variety to choose from. The farm I often camp is a lot of iron ore, is why I asked.

Look at Z Packs carbon fiber. So far so good...

Doesn't msr make a carbon fiber also. I would be nervous on them breaking if I hit a rock.

Yes MSR makes some but they are expensive. I have had no issue yet hitting rock.

Dutch nails are awesome, especially attached to guy lines.

Also, try Litesmith.com.

I will take a look at litesmith. They have the more round design less opening like a shepards hook.

Their Meye-Ti stakes are some of my very favorite. Super-tough, feathery (6.5 g each), and surprising in how well they hold. I like them because of how easy they are to drive in during out relatively long dry summers, when the soil can really turn to hardpan.

Makes sense. Seems like most are mixing it up between MSR hogs and TI /carbon for best holding power and light weight.

I carry five mini groundhogs and three Ti shepherd hooks. Haven't bent one of the minis yet. Surprised.
