I recreated the Carbon MYOG Stakes project that many have done here before (DIY Homemade Lightest Carbon Fibre Tent Pegs Stakes : r/myog) (MYOG Carbon Tent stakes. Lightest in world version 2.0 : r/Ultralight)
In my opinion they seem like they will be highly effective as secondary stakes (maybe carry 4 groundhogs for my corners and all my supplementary stakes as these.
I used Epoxy to harden the tips as well as secure the washers better. My personal touch is I also rubberized the top to make them friendlier on me and my gear.
The extra weight of the Epoxy and Rubberizing really seems worth it to make these a more finished item.
I run a UltaMid which takes 15 stakes to be fully guyed out (19 if you guy the peak). 19 is likely never necessary, but the theoretical situation makes this more fun.
My theoretical weights would have been: (19 stakes)
What I will end up carrying is 4 Ground Controls and 15 of these total weight: 2.05OZ

| MSR Mini Groundhog | .35 | 4.50 | 85.50 | 6.65 |
| MSR Groundhog | .5 | 4.95 | 94.05 | 9.5 |
| Ground Control Light Pegs | .25 | 3.325 | 63.18 | 4.75 |
| Ruta Locura Carbon (6") | .21 | 3.25 | 61.75 | 4.009 |
