Depends on the kind of metal or other medium, Dan. Mine are wire-thin
aluminum and I use about 6 for 33 ft of cable. So they're pretty light
=96 about 13 oz. If you don't want to carry more weight, cut sticks (if =
you're at a site where they can be got) w/ "y" splits at the top and
run the cables over that w/ ties.
