One caution on the Easton "Lightweight Tent Stakes". I bought 8 of them and had 3 fail on the very first use. What happens is that the aluminum top cap pulls off the stake leaving nothing to hold the tent attached to the stake. I returned tehm to REI for replacement, but found several more in their stock where the top cap was loose enough to be removed easily by hand.

I don't know if these stakes will last longterm or if the others will also develop loose top caps. I probably wouldn't buy them again.
