I have the 1-1/2" orange stakes for the stake line on the lake but I'd like to put a smaller line to our place for the 2 mile trek at night. The wife did fine crossing in the dark with tracks layed out and a friend already up there to meet us but a stake line would be perfect.
Anybody know where to buy them or have any old stakes, small yellow plastic, hockey sticks whatever. I need 40 and another 40 would be great.

Cheers

Mike if it's just a personal trail you'd be better off using pine bows, less of a liabilty issue for you if someone was to mistake it for an "official" stake line.

Dollarama sells those metal stakes with red round reflectors for $1 ...only prob is they would obviously sink if you didn't get them out when the ice went out....

Agreed with Nutter the locals use Christmas trees where I ride , but christmas is far gone .
Home Depot carrys wooden Orange Markers but it may depend on local .

I also think you had better keep you personal line to something that looks personalized.
You do not want to get into a liability issue.
It is a real ahame what the world has come to isn't it when we have to worry about such little things.

put floatation devices on them! bows with reflective tape or something else with reflective tape

It will definately be different than the proper stake line for the posted reasons, along with a sign. The lake is never posted as staked either.

Box of broom handles, broken hockey sticks anything 1-1/2 round or smaller I can put reflective tape on.

Here they use PVC plastic pipe and 3M refector peices, reflectorized tape could also be used, we drill a hole in the ice with wood spade bits, when the weather warms up, you can just pull 'em out.
