I am packing up my Ski bag with my bug etc.

What type of peg works and what doesn't on the Playa ?

For sake of light packing I'm wondering if folks just share home stake ?

Should I pack more than the one ?

Lots of people like to use a 4ft piece of rod with a "swim noodle" over it, the idea is not to stake you lines out but to rest your kite on something. Any ground stake works as there are little cracks all over in the clay.

There are some awesome stakes available for Trade, contact Kite Slinger for an order.

So ..... One of those big :moon: ones from home depot and a travel peg would do ?

yup.....I believe there is a ground stake makeing contest. the craziest ground stakes you'll ever see!

You mean these



But i haven't made any since last year... I took up sewing and been building these



and I make a matching 2'x 3' banner for evey rev I make w/the same crop circel design

and I been making my Maori Tribal banners




Close up detail




If I do make it this year I might have to donate a few as prizes or auction

yeah man, those are sick!

What about one of those ones you use for a dog that won't pull out?

One of those metal corkscrews? Overkill. More than needed and if you can't get it screwed in all the way it becomes a hazard to others.

If you don't have a regular kitestake, then one of those metal tent spikes works just fine.

Whatever you decide to use, attach a streamer of some sort to it so others can see it easily. I use 3' strips of ripstop nylon.

Wow David

Those are some nice looking kites and banners.

Great job.
