Argali no longer using Piton Stakes?

[doverpack12]

Anyone know when Argali stopped sending tents with Piton Stakes? I bought a tent and it came with what look like the aluminum Easton nails.
Fairly disappointed about that. Website still says it comes with Piton stakes.

I actually added some Piton stakes to my order because I wanted them for another tent.

Hi there,

Im assuming you bought our 8P tent with our new, stronger stakes? Ive been testing those for some time and for now you should only be getting them with a Yukon 8P tent as they are stronger and are better suited for the Yukon. However, ill gladly swap you out for the Piton stakes. Just shoot me a DM and I'll send you some.

Thanks Brad,

If you think they are stronger and better suited to the 8P then I’ll give them a try. I can tell they are not Easton stakes or like them that I have used in the past. Those didn’t like rocks and bent easy.

How is the holding strength in various ground with the fatter round stake vs the Piton with angles?

they are stronger, and Ive found them to hold better in the soil types Ive used them in. they are a little heavier than the Piton stakes, but they handle abuse a bit better as well which is why we included them with the bigger tents.
