Lil buddy – 3″ carbon tent stake – @stakes

Super compact and ridiculously light: lil buddy carbon tent peg from: @stakes

7.5 centimeters and just over 2 grams (yes, you read that right). Ideal for those small extra points that you want to secure, such as an extra guy line.
These stakes are handmade by Mike & Shelby from @stakes. They make these super light, but rock-solid tent pegs from carbon. The stakes have a ground, hardened aluminum point and the version we offer has an orange top that provides extra protection when pushing in the herring. These high stakes are equipped with an integrated loop to easily pull the herring out of the ground.

Of course, these carbon tent pegs are not as solid as aluminum or titanium pegs, but they are certainly a worthy and super light alternative under many normal circumstances (especially as we find around here). If you are really going to sleep in rocky areas, these may not be the best pegs to use. But if you want to camp ultralight, these are the pegs you are looking for.

In addition to this lil buddy, we also offer the high stakes in a 6″ (15 cm) and an 8″ (20 cm) version.
