Description
The Nemo Sweepstake Lightweight Tent Stakes are slim 7075 aluminium tent pegs with a built-in cleaner: a tethered polymer biscuit on each stake that you slide down the shaft to swipe off dirt and mud before it goes in the bag. The biscuit also glows in the dark. The pack holds six stakes.
What it does
Pull a peg out of wet ground at the end of a rainy weekend and it comes up coated. Normally that mud goes into the peg bag, then the tent bag, then your pack. With a Sweepstake you pull the stake by its cord loop, slide the biscuit down the shaft and the dirt comes off in one swipe. Clean stake, clean bag, clean tent.
The biscuit glows after dark too. When you step out of the tent at night, the stakes around it show up, and so do the guylines tied to them. Fewer stubbed toes, fewer pegs yanked out by a stray foot in the middle of the night.
Which tents it fits
Sweepstakes work with any tent, tarp or shelter that pegs down: corners, vestibules and guy-out points. Use them as a full replacement set for a backpacking tent, or keep them for the guylines, where the glow does the most good.
Weight and packed size
Each stake is 18 cm long with a Y-shaped cross section in 7000-series aluminium, which Nemo uses for strength and durability. The pack of six weighs 120 g, and with the cord loop and biscuit riding on the shaft a set slides into a peg bag beside the stakes that came with your tent.
