Longer Stakes for Tipi Tent?

[jonesn3]

Anybody prefer using longer tent stakes for their tipi? If not, how do you get the provided shorter stakes to work (e.g. 7” Y-type stakes)?

A buddy recommended longer stakes, I’m seeing 10” cyclone stakes by MSR as an option but might be overkill. Any others that you’d recommend?

Tent is a Seek Outside Cimarron

What’s the issue with the shorter ones, I have the cimmaron also and haven’t had any issues

The short seek stakes are obvi made for weight savings. I’ve broken 30% of mine.
I’m not packing it on my back either, so I just replaced them with 8” spikes.

I have a SO tipi and got the 'twisty' stakes when I ordered it.
They are great

Call SO and get them
