Awhile back I made up some fancy kite stakes with a key ring type clip on it so it could be easily clipped on a belt loop when not in use.

I recently, made a couple more out of some golf balls and attached “alligator clips” (called “roach clips” in the Pacific Northwest) which can be clipped on anything anywhere and they are much smaller then the key ring clips.

I attached them with plastic wire ties and then coated the whole area with 2 part epoxy. They work great and when clipped on the back pocket the stake is held firmly in place and doesn’t swing around at all, but is there anytime you need it and it is an easy one handed operation.

I don't think that only the Northwest will find that useful!!! Then again, I could be wrong!!!
