Description
The Litesmith Meye Ti Titanium Stakes come as a set of six lightweight titanium stakes for tarps and trekking-pole shelters, roughly 15 cm long, with a looped head rather than a plain hook. The loop matters more than it looks: a guyline stays engaged even if the stake rotates slightly in the ground, a common failure point with simple hook-style stakes once soil loosens.
Titanium is chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio versus aluminum or steel stakes of similar length; reported weight per stake in the data ranges from roughly 3.5 to 6.5 g depending on the source — either way it places the Meye Ti among the lighter titanium stakes available, which adds up carrying six to eight of them for a full pitch. As a universal-fit accessory it is not tied to a specific tent or tarp brand.
Best matched to firm ground; in loose sand or snow a wider stake, snow stake, or Y-profile will typically hold better than a slim nail-style titanium pin like this one.
