6.5" Titanium V Stake
Super light weight with great holding power especially in loose soil. I keep a few in my stake bag for extra reassurance
– Josh N., ★★★★★
This item has been discontinued due to bending. 7" Super Sonic Stakes are a stronger alternative.
From soft sand to snow, the Titanium V Stakes are a great option when you need a little more stability. These V-shaped stakes are made from ultralight and ultra strong titanium. This broad stake is designed to grip loose soil and hold better in the wind compared to thinner stakes. If the ground is too firm, turn them sideways and anchor them with a rock. Although these are pretty strong, they can be bent in half if you lean your body weight on them too hard.
In windy territory you may want a full set. For normal conditions save weight with lighter stakes, and maybe add just one or two of these for additional anchors on windy nights.
These have a red-coated end, which makes them easy to see and a red cord to make them easier to pull out of the ground.
Weight: .39 ounces (11 grams)
Length: 6.5 inches (16.5 cm)
Width: 14 mm
Material: Ultralight Titanium
Holding Power: Best
Bend Resistance: Good
Ultralight stakes should never be hammered or they could get bent or damaged. Hold your foot in both hands for stability, and guide the stake into the ground with your body weight. If the ground is too solid to drive in stakes, anchor them with rocks instead.
Non-Freestanding tents can be pitched just about anywhere with a little creativity. If the ground is too firm, wedge just the tip of your stakes in, and then anchor them with rocks. If you are camped above tree line on stone, wrap the guy lines around rocks to anchor them. On beach sand, you can use rocks, driftwood, etc. as anchors for the tent guylines. On wooden tent platforms you can wedge the stakes between the boards, or use extra line to tie off to the ends of the platform. There are many ways to make it work if you use your imagination.
Shelter Add-Ons
Neoair Uberlight Sleeping Pad
What I love most about this sleeping pad is its light weight, and that it packs up very small. I had to send the first one back because of a leaky valve, but received a replacement very quickly. I love the new valve design - it’s very easy to use, and very efficient.
– Constance D., ★★★★☆
As the absolute lightest insulated air sleeping pad available, the NeoAir UberLite is the top choice for thru hikers and ounce counters, setting a new standard for ultralight comfort. The unrivaled Triangular Core Matrix offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio of any air sleeping pad construction, creating a 2.3 R-value. The construction gives the 2.5 inch (6.4 cm) thick pad superior stability for maximum camp comfort.
The ultralight sleeping pad features the high-performance WingLock valve, allowing the pad to inflate three times faster thanks to a larger opening and one-way inflation. Like all Therm-a-Rest pads, the NeoAir UberLite is made in the USA to ensure quality and minimize environmental impact. The pad includes a breath-saving pump sack, compact stuff sack and field repair kit.

Sleeping Pad Slide Stopper Set
One "Set" includes two straps, each consisting of a pair Stick on Springless Cord Locks and a 26" (66 cm) length of shock cord which will stretch to fit standard or wide sleeping pads. The shock cord can be cinched snug.
The Sleeping Pad Slide Stoppers easily stick to your desire position on your DCF tent floor. For the best results, attach one strap around where you shoulders typically rest on your pad, and the other strap where your hips rest. Slide your pad under both shock cords and then tighten the cords accordingly.
If you are securing two pads side by side with two sets, offset the patches lengthwise so that the pads sit snug beside each other.
The adhesive on these patches sticks well to the Dyneema Composit Fabric tent floors in all Zpacks tents. It may stick OK to polyurethane coated tent floors. The patches can be carefully peeled off if you decide to remove them later.
Thermarest Z Lite SOL Sleeping Pad
A little thicker than the Nemo. It’s lightweight and does the job quite well.
– Carl S., ★★★★☆
Always a favorite of the ultralight elite, the Z Lite SOL expands upon the performance of the Original Z Lite by adding reflective ThermaCapture™ coating to capture radiant heat and increase overall warmth by nearly 15%.
Factoring in the system of heat trapping dimples, the Z Lite SOL has an R-Value of 2.0, making it perfect for use on its own in warmer weather or layering under another pad for extra warmth in the cold.
The proprietary foams are softer on top for extra comfort and denser on the bottom for extra durability, making the Z Lite SOL an ideal closed-cell foam pad for those in need of an ultralight, highly compact and super-reliable sleep system.

Zpacks Comfy Camp Pillow
When you've gone so ultralight that you are wearing all your clothing layers to bed but still want a comfortable spot to rest your head the Zpacks Comfy Camp Pillow is the solution!
This camp pillow has ultra-soft Octa® fleece against your face, and is stuffed with six layers of Climashield Apex insulation to give it resilient loft. The insulation can be removed or augmented with other gear items like a down hood and booties.
Elastic bands on the back allow you to attach it to a stuff sack, dry bag, or inflatable pillow to give your head extra lift. An adjustable shock cord band secures the pillow to your sleeping pad to keep it from sliding around.

Gear Nest
Keep your camp essentials safe and easily accessible with our modular dual-pocket Gear Nest. Perfect for keeping your glasses, phone, and other small items organized. Drop in your headlamp to turn it into an overhead lantern.
The triangular shape preserves your headroom when sitting up on either side of the nest.
To install the Gear Nest, simply attach the adjustable hooks to the loops at the interior of our tent peaks and tighten.
All Zpacks 2 and 3 person tents should already have compatible loops at the peaks.
If your tent does not have loops on the interior, our Stick on Loops work great on shelters made with DCF or other, similar, materials.
