So I like them a lot, I think. They are just so very pointy. I usually put my stakes in with my tarp inside the stuff sack. Never had any problems. I have been using DAC V stakes for many many years now.  Now trying the MLD Carbon Fiber NanoNail stakes that came with the SoloMid Pro.. Just not sure how I wanna store/ carry them due to the extremely pointy ends. I definitely will NOT use a separate stake sack as that becomes 1 more thing to keep track of after I make camp for the night. And I am weary of leaving them separate on outside of my Nero Pack because for sure they would probably point a hole thru the mesh pockets. Im thinking my only option is tucked inside the stuff sack with the soloMid.. mindfully. Otherwise stick with my trusted V stakes. Any ideas?

Turn them half up and half down, bundled together so the heads shield the tips. Then I use a stake sack made from a seal a meal bag. It’s a little thicker and more protective. Cheap. I keep them it in with the tent.

Yeah, I may have no choice but to use a stake sack and just toss it in the stuff sack to keep everything together.  Unfortunately now that’s 2 things added..  bummer.

I don’t know if this will work with your pack but like carrying stakes on a tiny metal s-biner outside of my pack with the stakes under the X of shockcord I like on most packs. The biner never leaves the pack and shockcord keeps things from jangling. No risk of puncture. No stuff sack to lose.

You mean hang them like I do my trowel? That’s too obvious. Good idea

Probably won’t work for me.

My pack usually not full enough for compression straps to hold them tight enough. And I don’t like hanging stuff off outside of my pack
