I don't need it to pull the stakes out.
I'm just going to tie it around the stake to see it so I don't trip over the little bastards.

You're still not going to be able to tie a knot in 10cm of paracord, let alone 2cm. If you won't be pulling on them you could fuse the ends together with a lighter, but you'd still want at least 5cm for that.
Depends how much adroit has and how thick it is (too thick and it'll be a pain to tie).
His link lists 4mm diameter.

No way, you'll want at least 15cm per stake. I'd go for 20cm, a knot in 4mm paracord will take about 10cm of cord. This is what 17cm of 4mm paracord gives you. Hardly enough to put my pinky finger through, and I'd wager I'm about half Hippy's weight.
