You already are carrying a knife. Why not just make them on the spot and you don't have to carry anything extra.
Some AO's may not have sticks, but they are rare.

Time, convenience, anyone can use them (kids, wife, etc) without you present... Just a few reasons not to.
It's great being self reliant, but if I've been out patrolling for hours and I get to where I'm at and now I'm looking for twigs, I am going to be one fucked off bunny if I could carry a few oz of plastic/metal and just set that shit up directly.
I like a lot of the 'bushcraft' methodology, skill etc and being self reliant. I think it's important to learn if not all, a large portion of the relevant skills (snow holes not being appropriate in, say, FL...) But there are some things I want 'gear' for. YMMV.

Those are very interesting... Have backpacking, small aluminum ones, but these hold promise...

Being light and quiet if they rub together sounds good. Another good find Hawkeye.

I may grab up a couple sets of these for my kit. I already carry stakes made of aluminum and would be interested in testing these as a possible replacement. I too thought I would just make stakes from available sticks, but quickly found out that I preferred the effort and 20 minutes saved by having them already in my kit.

Skill is still valuable and I've used it myself 'for real', but that was because I had shit admin and lost my metal peg in the first place  |
