If you are going to use this kind of stake you need the rope to pull it out in hard grround otherwise they are tough to get out. thats why these are nice.

These are some seriously tough stakes. But for a real jam, the little loop of cord won't likely do much for you. As an example, I went out a while back and somehow managed to pound a stake straight into a tree root, where it sat overnight. Three hefty pulls on the loop and it broke. Ultimately, I had to dig around the stake and break it off (yes, I know it was a conscious violation of LNT). The thing I love most about the cord with these stakes is that it's reflective . . . no more stumbling headfirst into a bush when I get up to pee at midnight.

If you use the rope to tie the tent to you can bury the stake for a more secure stake and still pull it out of the ground

Don't need the rope, gets in the way. Just use the hooks on another stake to hook the one in the ground and pull out.
