Thanks that was very helpful!
Im thinking about buying some carbon core stakes they weigh .2 ounces per stake according to website.

Thought I would just mention I ordered 10 "groundhog" type stakes off Ebay awhile ago. They are stated as being a aluminum alloy and they were $7.00 including delivery from China!
Anyone have any experience with them?
I will follow up with a review when they turn up.

Aluminium gutter nails have been mentioned and they work fine but fragile if the ground is rocky or frozen.
A 7" ring nail, pole barn nail, high tensile, works for me in any seasons all terain even sand or deep soft snow.
I always carry a small vise grip to use on other things and to pull the ring nails.

In snow I just take say a 1 meter long dead branch, tie the guy line to the middle and bury it in snow. It won't come out unless I want it to.
No need to haul stakes.
