MLD Is Closed Until the First of Next Month. Interest in super ultralight gear has grown far beyond our production capacity, and in order to maintain reasonable lead times and the quality Mountain Laurel Designs is known for, we’ve moved to a monthly ordering system for 2026. How It Works: At the beginning of each month, we open ordering for a limited time. Once our production capacity is reached, the store closes again until the 1st of the following month. You’re still welcome to browse the site, research products, and build your wish list while ordering is closed. LEARN MORE.

SMART’Y STAKES

A Great, Solid, All-purpose Tent Stake.
WEIGHT: 0.42 oz | 12 gms (Includes Reflective Pull Cords.)
LENGTH: 7″ in | 18 cm
DIAMETER: 0.46″ in | 11.8 mm

Looking for and all-purpose basic stake? SMART’Y STAKES offer dependable holding power without excess ounces. Designed to hit the sweet spot between strength and size, they’re a great choice for everything from thru’s to bikepacking adventures at a low price.

At just 0.42 ounces each, SMART’Y STAKES provide 25% more holding power than shorter 6” Y-stakes, thanks to their increased length and diameter. The one-piece aluminum extrusion means zero weak points, no joints and no parts to fail when you need your shelter most.

Compare to the ubiquitous MSR Grounghog Y stake. SMART’s Stakes have the same holding power, are a bit lighter weight, and feature a better hi vis color (especially at night) AND at 70% lower cost.

Bright reflective pull cords make night-time adjustments and early morning pack-ups easy, so you’re not hunting in the dirt when it’s dark and cold. Small, tough, and affordable, these stakes punch well above their weight.

** Stake Sack not included, unless added to purchase above!**
