Does anyone have any experience with Six Moon Designs’ 6″ L Stakes?
http://www.sixmoondesigns.com/nettents/lStake.html

I’m looking for some light and inexpensive stakes that are easy on my hand as I shove the stake into the ground and also easy to pull out of the ground as well when you’re done with them.

The L stakes look like they could be the ticket, but I have no experience with them.

Thanks for any info!

I bought them with my lunar solo. They are very light but you kind of have to baby them when you use them or they can bend very easily if you step on them at the wrong angle.

I have not used the SMD stakes but they look similar in design to the short "u" shaped stakes Hilleberg sold me in 2006.

They work well for softer soils. But as noted above, for harder ground they can be hard to insert and if you apply pressure with your foot, they will bend. At 6 inches, I sometimes wish they were longer when the wind begins to blow since my Akto requires tight rigging,
