Nemo Sweepstake Tent Stakes 6-Pack - Ultralight 7075-T6 Aluminum Y-Beam Pegs, 6 in, Orange

Loose, shifting tent stakes can ruin a night in the backcountry, leaving your shelter flapping in the wind or collapsing in soft ground. The Nemo Sweepstake 6-Pack solves that with a Y-beam profile that bites into firm and medium soil, giving you a rock-solid anchor for your tent or tarp. Each stake is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, the same alloy used in aircraft, so you get serious holding power without the weight penalty.

Who is it for

Ultralight backpackers, bikepackers, and thru-hikers who count every gram will appreciate these 10-gram stakes. Campers who pitch on hard-packed ground or need reliable performance in variable conditions will also find them indispensable. If you've ever bent a cheap steel peg or had a plastic hook snap, these are a worthy upgrade.

Main features

• Ultralight 7075-T6 aluminum construction: each stake weighs only 10 g (0.35 oz), total pack weight 60 g (2.1 oz).
• Y-beam profile: three-sided design increases rigidity and holding power compared to round or V-stakes.
• Integrated pull cord: makes extraction easy, even from stubborn ground, and adds visibility.
• Corrosion-resistant: anodized finish protects against rust and wear.
• High-visibility orange color: hard to lose in grass or duff.
• Includes mesh stuff sack: keeps the six stakes organized and prevents punctures in your pack.

Tips

For best results, drive stakes at a 45° angle away from your tent, with the hook or cord facing the shelter. In very hard ground, use a rock or the back of your shoe to press them in, but avoid hammering directly on the pull cord. When packing up, wipe off any dirt to keep the stuff sack clean and extend the life of the anodized finish.
