Tent Tool

Driving a stake into hard ground by hand stabs your palm. Splinting a snapped tent pole at 2 AM with no spare part ends the night. The Tent Tool covers both at 10 g. A 110 mm carbon fiber tube gives you a wide, comfortable grip; the Stake Sleeve fits a universal range of stake heads and distributes pressure evenly. To pull a stake, loop cord around the tube. To splint a broken pole, sleeve the 11 mm inner diameter over the break, align, and tape both ends. The 1.8 mm cord we use for stake pulling is sold as Reflective Cord, kept tidy on a Carbon Fiber Spool. See Rigging That Works for stake-pulling and guyline technique.
