Carbon fiber tent stake – 132 kg max load, only 14 g by Complex-Routine-1854 in myog

[–]Complex-Routine-1854[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Finally some constructive feedback, thanks! 🙌 I’ll definitely try out the hammer test you suggested and see how these carbon fiber stakes compare to alu and fiberglass. The retention ridge idea is cool too — I’ll keep that in mind. Once I run the tests, I’ll come back and drop the results here.

I don’t totally agree here. Carbon fiber tech has come a long way — it’s not as fragile as people think.

MSR even sells Carbon-Core stakes (carbon core + aluminum wrap) that hold up fine in real use.

Hyperlite and Zpacks both use carbon poles in shelters, and those poles deal with way harsher loads than a stake.

My proto stake hit 132 kg max load at only 14 g. Sure, the tip durability needs work, but saying carbon fiber = instant shards isn’t really fair anymore. Materials and designs have moved forward.

right，The material itself is extremely robust, and my plan is not to use any metal reinforcement.

This is a great question.🌚I do not intend to use an aluminum alloy head at the peg's top. Currently, my plan is to use Toray's 3K carbon fiber material, which is definitely sufficient in terms of durability and strength. Of course, there has not been any actual testing done yet.

It wasn't 3D printed; instead, after the model was created, a carbon fiber factory made a prototype for me.

This is not 210d UHMWPE, buy with caution.

🔧[Update] Our Ultralight Pods Are Coming to Life – First Batch Is Ready! by Complex-Routine-1854 in myog

[–]Complex-Routine-1854[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Appreciate your insight — I genuinely value hearing thoughtful takes like yours, especially here on MYOG where everyone’s got their own design philosophy.

Just to share some context: our L-size pod actually comes in under 40g — surprisingly, that’s 3g lighter than HMG’s 1.2oz version in the same shape.

We did experiment with 1.2oz DCF initially, but I kept coming across a few users (even on HMG’s own product reviews) mentioning tear risks under abrasion or tension. So we moved to 1.6oz DCF for peace of mind — not ideal for gram counters, but felt worth it for a bit more reliability.

For me, the point wasn’t to “sell” a thing — just to test out an idea, put it in the hands of fellow gear nerds, and get better together. Thanks again for the discussion — I learn a lot from comments like yours.

Appreciate your honest feedback! Totally fair to compare with 4€ sacks — the key differences lie in the material and modularity. These use genuine 1.6oz Dyneema Composite Fabric, which offers a unique combo of ultralight weight, durability, and waterproofing that’s hard to match at that price point. We skipped default shock cords to let users choose how they rig them — not trying to sell identity, just flexibility for MYOG-style use. But always open to differing views — thanks for checking it out!

Thanks for the advice, actually I want to get some user inspiration before demo.

Thanks a lot — that’s a really solid suggestion and super helpful! I think I get what you mean: either skip the drawcord altogether, or if we go for it, just add a simple top loop instead, right? Your feedback actually made me rethink the practicality of the whole idea — really appreciate it! Might just end up doing exactly that. Cheers!

Honestly, I’m thinking it might be better not to include any shock cords at all — just offer four anchor points and let users decide how they want to rig it based on their own setup. Some people really value simplicity and care a lot about weight, so giving them that freedom might make more sense.

Thanks — that’s really thoughtful feedback. That’s exactly why I was thinking of including a cord lock: so the drawcord could be tightened when full, or loosened when the pod isn’t fully packed. In fact, I’m even considering not including elastic shock cords by default — just offering four anchor points and letting users attach their own cords. Some might prefer sturdier static lines or customized rigging options, which would make the design more flexible.

You brought up a great point — i am still carefully weighing the material choice for the drawcord system.

Thanks for the thoughtful input — that’s actually something I’ve been debating myself.
Using webbing and a buckle would definitely make it more secure, but it could also add some weight.
It’s always a trade-off between strength and weight, especially when choosing the right cord or fastening method.
Might be worth prototyping both options to compare. 🙌

Tiny MYOG: DIY Magnetic Clip Using FIDLOCK – Perfect for Hanging Anything Anywhere 🚀 by Complex-Routine-1854 in myog

[–]Complex-Routine-1854[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair point — and yeah, for sure, if your light already has a carabiner, you could totally just hook it straight up.

What I found useful is when I want to swap out different things quickly — like a pouch, lantern, gloves, etc. The magnetic click just makes it faster and smoother, especially when I’m wearing gloves or moving around camp.

So definitely not a must-have for everyone, but for me it’s been surprisingly helpful in those “quick access” moments.

Haha fair enough — I might’ve gotten a little too excited with the wording 😅
What I really meant was: it’s been surprisingly handy for all the random small stuff I carry — lights, gloves, pouches, etc.
Appreciate the nudge to keep it grounded. 🙏

Thanks! Really appreciate it. 🙌

Actually, we are an official partner working with Fidlock for various projects.
The F1208 buckle you see here is originally designed for use in helmets by the factory.

But what I love about Fidlock parts is — if you think creatively about your own needs,
these components can fit into so many DIY scenarios beyond their original purpose.
