I just wanted to throw this out there, we all know the stakes that come with blinds are absolute junk, I found these a couple of years ago and have not had to use anything else since. I hunt in an area with very stony ground and these go in very well (Within sensible reason you are not going to go through a rock) but they will go around them well if you know what I mean. They hold in the ground well, hold a line well and because of the loops are very easy to pull when you are done, just put a heavy stick or hammer through the loop and pull up and out them come. They come 12 to an order in a little carry sack with a cinch line, probably the only think I do no like is the sack because it tends to let them fall out. There are other colors but I do not see the sense in any but black in the hunting world. I have not broken any yet by the way. Here is the link for you and a picture of them.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I0X9WDE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

You're welcome.
Great tip!
I use these for my camper awning and they are 1000 times better than the flimsy metal ones..
I get mine from Rural King. The metal ones with the green top on them. Easy enough to get into Missouri rock. I agree with the ones that come with the blinds. Junk!!! For you blind dealers out there...just leave them out. No one uses them!!!

And they're almost as cheap as me! (But not cheaply made)
