Lightweight and doesn't bend | |
| Rating: |  |
| Most tents come with poor quality weak round tent stakes. Given enough use (especially in hard soils), they eventually get pretty bent. However, these MSR Groundhog stakes work great! The total surface area required to pierce the ground doesn't seem as much as those round "freeby" stakes, making them much easier to pound in to hard soil. Given the 3-sided design, it's inherently stronger and unlikely to bend. I've replaced ALL my tent stakes with these MSR GroundHog stakes. The red color is very helpful, too. If I accidentally drop one, I'm a lot more likely to see the bright red stake on the ground than a thin silver stake. | |

"Go for it!" | |

| I replaced the cheap, bent aluminum wire stakes that came with my expensive tent with a complete set of MSR Groud Hog stakes. Rock-solid design, easy removal (even without the string) and bright red so you can find them in deep grass! The weight penalty over the thin aluminum wire stake is 0.1 ounces per stake (measured 10 at a time). I had to use a palm-sized rock to pound these into tough, dry soil on the trail. I rocked each stake only twice to loosen the next day. All stakes were undamaged. Very tough finish. | |

Only stakes I use | |
| Rating: | |
| These are the only stakes I use anymore. The stock stakes go in the recycling! I own about 16, and I keep them in a separate bag. When I pull out a tent, I check how many stakes it takes, then grab an appropriate number of Groundhog stakes. I've never had one break yet. But whatever you do, don't push them in with your foot. Never do that with any stake! If necessary, find a fist-sized rock to pound them in with. | |

Best Stakes You Can Buy | |
| Rating: | |
| The best stakes you can get. They come with a reflective pull cord so you don't trip over them at night, just wear a headlamp so the reflect back towards your eyes. The bright red color makes them hard to loose. As a pro guide, I use them week in and week out in dirt, soil and rocky terrain. They can take a beating and keep coming back for more. They don't get any better than these. | |

"leverage is a must to get these stakes back out of the ground" | |
| Rating: | |
| This stake grips into what ever kind of soil you pound it into. I've used it in loamy soil, sand, clay, hard packed rocky soil, and it anchors everything down like a champ. They grip so hard, that if you use them hard packed clay or rocky soil, be prepared to wrestle them out of the ground when its time to break camp. They don't give up their grip without a fight. | |

Only tent stake I use any more | |
| Rating: | |
| These stakes are the best around. They're strong, you can beat on them with a rock, hammer, hatchet back, whatever if needed. They hold surprisingly well in sand. I haven't tried them in snow but I would assume they'd be satisfactory based on what I have experienced. At this point, when I get a new tent, I put aside whatever stakes come with the tent and replace them with these. | |

Best tent stake | |
| Rating: | |
| This is my favorite tent stake for car camping. I have a couple dozen, at least, because I have a large tent and a 12'x12' screenroom -- both of which I guy out two lines per corner to withstand thunderstorms (and once a tropical storm). I've never had one of these stakes fail and I've camped in some extremely high, sustained winds. | |

"These are sturdy and better than plain stakes, not for heavy duty use but great for small tents" | |
| Rating: | |
| I use these with my two person backpacking tent and they do the trick. They are also very lightweight but sometimes they slip off the loops if not put in at a good angle. They have loops making them easy to pull out and can take a hammering without bending all out of shape. | |

"Better than your regular stakes" | |
| Rating: | |
| I bought these to replace the standard stakes that came with my tent. They held my tent down much better than their counterparts. Get these if you're looking for something better than those thin pieces of aluminum that came with your tent. | |

| upgrade to these, there not going to bend, they will stay in the ground. and if you have really small wrist you can wear it as a bracelet/bear defense. and they are red, a lot easier to see, and not lose. | |

Great, but with a weakness | |
| Rating: |  |
| When I first started using this product, I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. However, there is a fatal flaw to its design. Its weakness is the notch at the top of the stake. I've had several bend and eventually break at that point. This may not be an issue for many people, but the earth here in Southern California is generally really hard and rocky, so after a while the stakes just can't take the abuse anymore. I would still recommend this product, but just be careful. If it starts to bend at the notch, get rid of it before it breaks. | |

"Annoying to attach to fly..." | |
| Rating: | |
| So they're light and go into the ground well, but one big flaw for me atleast, I'm used to hooks of standard stakes where I could just hook to the loops in my rainfly, but with this I have to tie the little lanyard to each corner for every single one! I did this when it was dry, but if it was raining, I would've been a unhappy camper... | |
