Zpacks 6.4" Carbon Fiber Stake
The larger surface area of these Carbon Fiber Stakes makes them ideal for soft ground. Featuring a carbon fiber shaft with a metal tip and end cap, they offer the best holding power to weight ratio. Additionally, the bright orange cord looped through the end enhances visibility and allows for easy removal from the ground.

Their thicker diameter provides superior ground grip compared to thinner titanium stakes, making them highly effective in loose soil and regular dirt. For hard-packed ground or rocky areas, lay them flat and secure with rocks. 

These are the only stakes we've found to consistently pass through airport security without issues. We've taken them through U.S. airport checkpoints numerous times without a problem, whereas metal stakes are often confiscated about half the time. If you encounter any issues with these stakes, please let us know.

STAKING TIPS
  • Ultralight stakes should never be hammered or they could get bent or damaged. Hold your foot in both hands for stability, and guide the stake into the ground with your body weight. If the ground is too solid to drive in stakes, anchor them with rocks instead.
  • The thick diameter can be harder to drive into compacted ground. Never hammer these. Hold your foot in both hands for stability and press the stakes into the ground at an angle. If you can't press them into the ground all the way, anchor them with rocks instead.
  • The carbon shafts are very strong and cannot be bent, but if they are stressed excessively they can snap. The metal tips are bonded in place but it is possible for them to come unglued. It is not a bad idea to have a tiny tube of super glue in your gear repair kit.
  • Non-Freestanding tents can be pitched just about anywhere with a little creativity. If the ground is too firm, wedge just the tip of your stakes in, and then anchor them with rocks. If you are camped above tree line on stone, wrap the guy lines around rocks to anchor them. On beach sand, you can use rocks, driftwood, etc. as anchors for the tent guylines. On wooden tent platforms you can wedge the stakes between the boards, or use extra line to tie off to the ends of the platform. There are many ways to make it work if you use your imagination.
