Delta anchors use an interesting principle where forces are transferred so that they act in a similar way to a deadman. The ones most commonly used by backpackers, primarily in the UK, are a whopping 49g each. Titan ground anchors are aluminium deltas that work on the same principle but with a large flat surface area like snow anchors; the smallest weighs 22g (0.78oz).

Why carry such stakes? Because delta anchors are excellent in just one particular kind of substrate &#; spongey, soft, shallow sod over rock. You need long stakes for holding power in the spongey turf, but long stakes can&#;t be pushed all the way in, and the substrate is too shallow for burying deadman anchors, which would in any case be precluded by LNT principles with this kind of vegetation. Nor are rocks lying on the surface for modified deadman anchoring. Here is the cheap Australian version (bulky and even heavier at 60g each). In our opinion, these aren&#;t useful for Australian backpackers with our substrates.

Interesting alternative designs come and go on the market (can you deduce a potential issue with these stakes?); whenever trying new tent stakes, consider the principles from part 1 of this article to determine where they will work best, and how best to deploy them.

Table 2: Tent Stakes, Weights and Substrates

Use this table only as a rough guide: as we have seen, not all stakes are equal, even when they are nominally the same. We&#;ve used examples from our stake bag and from online suppliers. Substrate gradations of Loose, Soft, Medium, Firm and Hard are subjective and are to indicate stake suitability relative to each other. Stake length and the presence of gravel, fibrous roots or rocks within the substrate also greatly impacts stake suitability. The following selections are for windy rather than still conditions: in the latter many of the stakes will hold in soft and even loose substrates.
