Packing the stakes for cook kit

We put stakes (for the Sidewinder ti-tri) together with a fork and a spoon which are of the similar length, and wrap the lot in a small cotton towel used for cooking prep. Unfortunately neither stakes nor cutlery fit inside our Evernew 1300 pot, otherwise we'd store these together.

I suppose it could also be handy to keep cooking stakes with your tarp/tent stakes. Normally shelter and stove are the first things to get unpacked, so it makes sense keeping those together.

Would it work with the Four Dog windscreen if you used the Starlyte with the built-in pot support?

I've used this quite a few times with a Toaks 1350ml pot and a simple windscreen with good results. Gotta find a fairly flat spot and make doggone sure the pot is centered on the stove, but it works fine if care is taken. Should work easily with a 600ml mug, assuming the mug handles don't interfere with the windscreen.

If I ever need to carry stakes for use with my caldera cones I just pack them with my tent stakes. This way I know where they are and don't have to worry about stakes being in 2 different places, which makes it easier to keep up with them and I don't have to worry about punctures from stakes in 2 different places. My stakes go in a reinforced cuben fiber stake sack, which rides in the outer front pocket on my packs.

But make a small envelope of Tyvek for the stakes to keep the points from poking something.
