Portable trail camera stakes

[laxwyo]

Any suggestions on what to use when trees are not available? I was thinking about trying two surveying stakes together. Seems like it would be sturdy enough. Needs to be somewhat mobile

Laxwyo where in Wyoming are you? I got some old trailer house utility stakes that work great. A steel v stake about 48" tall and the top has a 5"wide by 8"long aluminum plate on top to strap to or even run some screws into. I'm by Cheyenne if your close I'd meet up with you and give you a few.

Rock springs. Thanks for the offer. Maybe I'll cruise down to Home Depot or Murdochs and see if anything fancies me

They make a light stake out of plastic that has a spear point on the end. They are the inexpensive alternate to a T stake. The good thing is they are lighter and cheaper.

I use old t-post and wire a small square piece of plywood wired to it with notches cut into the sides for the straps to catch on to keep the cam from sliding down.

I picked up a couple metal v-stakes for fencing. Cost about $2 ea. They were great for strapping a camera to and putting it where a tree isn't.

Plastic T-stake. Probably 24" long. I wonder if they make bigger ones

Think they will work. Thanks for your input
