What’s ur favorite tent stakes?

Depends. For sand, 8" Easton aluminum. For very hard and rocky ground, Vargo titanium nails. For regolith that's in between, 6.5" titanium shepherd hooks or MSR groundhogs.

Ti shepard hook, various sellers are similar

Light weight

I have one steel stake to poke a pilot hole in rocky soil, Ti stake will bend

The Ti stakes pull out fairly easily, sometimes need to put a big rock on top, especially in loose soil like sand.

My favorite are the Big Sky Ultra-C aluminum stakes — just about as light as ti shepherd hooks, but with much more holding power.

My tent uses 6 stakes, – I bring 5 of the above, plus 1 Vargo titanium nail stake for pounding through hard ground.

For my Duplex, Ruta Locura 9" carbon stakes. In rocky ground, Lawson TI shepherd.

Used my Lawson Ti shepherd stakes this weekend with great success. Out here it is usually just finding dirt that goes deep enough without hitting a rock.

MSR ground hogs or rocks

On the east coast my favorites were MSR Needle stakes (no longer available, sadly). On the west coast, 8" Eastons. Mostly I use ti shepherds hooks, but always carry a couple of the former to use on the more stubborn corners.

Oh, and the MSR Blizzard, because it makes a fantastic potty trowel.

I carry 2 of the easton nail stakes to handle the ridge guy lines for my tarp. I am usually always around trees so I can either tie off the other corners, use rocks or use my pocket knife and make a stake from a branch.

I cowboy camp every night I can. Only set up my tarp for wind or rain protection maybe 10% of the time. I am trying to carry less stuff as a goal and this setup works for me.

Here is my pitch from this weekend. After scrambling up to around 7200ft the wind was strong coming off the lake. I pitched my tarp to deflect it and stayed warm all night.

Im thinkin filet mignon.

None. I just use rocks.

If the weather is good, I don't have to pitch my tarp at all; if I do (usually to limit condensation), and the weather is good, I don't need many rocks.

If the weather is bad, I have to pile more rocks, but I'd be piling rocks on my stakes anyway, since the weather is bad.

Above are all the stakes I have, and the combination below works well for most of my trip.

BTW, I don't like the vargo ultralight titanium nail pegs which bend and break easily when pounded.
I don't like the easton aluminum stakes and the terra nova carbon fiber pegs ether since their cap tend to separate when I pulling it out of the ground.

I seem to end up using MSR Groundhogs the most, by a considerable margin, so I guess they're my "favorite."
