I always take the Easton 8" around Tassie. I also carry some of the Toaks as spares and to give me options. Ive never had an issue with the Easton coming apart, I really like them. They are strong, light and easy to clean. You need to be careful not to bend them though.

How are the Toaks mini-V's, they look pretty solid for the weight. I was thinking of ordering 6 mini-V's and 2 Fattys for my Echo II, but these Carbon stakes look interesting.

I'd say strong for the thickness and weigh. I haven't used them in any real windy conditions so can't say how they hold but seem pretty good for the little use I have given them.

These are available at Aliexpress for $21.98 for a pack of four and likely cheaper again if you use the app to place the order. Good price?

Also had one head pull out but just glued it back in - no further issues. I think they are not the best for pounding into hard ground. More for sandier soils where you need a bit more holding power. I also have some ti angle stakes similar to the ones discussed above. I cannot remember the source. I have managed to bend one when pushing it in with my foot but I also have a bent Saxton stake.

Me personally I cannot go past the MSR Groundhog peg, they are a great design, easy to put in, easy to take out and they are very light. I have never had one fail, I have had one set for about 9 years and they are still going strong. The red and white pull cord colour has seen better days but they still work.
I have used these in many countries and many environments and cannot flaw them. I used these in Cameroon for 4 months camping and not once they come out of the water soaked ground in the wet season.
Check them out.

I love mine too, just don't get too vigorous hitting them in with rocks because they will bend eventually.

I do the angle thing. I find that they hold better
I use shepherds hooks and ground hogs/mini hogs, can't remember which one, out at work at the moment.
