Sports reviews of MSR Ground Hog Stake Kit
Customer Review: Indestructible, never-lets-go tent stakes
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
The Kelty yellowstone tent that I bought came with those candy-cane shaped tent stakes made, apparently, of silver-colored room-temperature butter, which can't withstand being pounded into anything other than freshly tilled dirt. I stumbled across these tent stakes at REI, and thought that they looked quite a bit stronger (with a Y-cross section, it seems like they couldn't easily bend in any direction). Boy, was I right. When beach camping, I can pound these into hardened sand littered with large rocks, and not worry about bending them against a buried stone, no matter how hard I hammer. They grip the ground like superglue, and can't be bent by any amount of hammering. Best tent stake I've ever used.Customer Review: May be the best tent stake on the market

I just got back from a three day camping trip to the beach where these stakes came in handy. Based on other reviews, I decided these stakes would work in the sand much better than the cheap stakes that come with tents. Sure enough, it does. I could push these stakes into the sand by hand yet they held very tight. There were other tents with the long, aluminum spikes and the wind was pulling them out of the ground. These stakes didn't budge. The only caveat with these is there are no hooks on it to put over your tent loop. The key is to drive them in at an angle and keep the tent tight between them. Do that and you are set. The loop of string on them make them very easy to pull back out as well.Customer Review: Much Better Than Plastic
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We've camped on all kinds of surfaces from grass to gravel to hardpan, and these stakes work very well for every surface. Unlike the plastic stakes that so often come with tents, these will not break, split, or bend. These are better than the steel stakes with plastic heads, because as you know, the plastic heads are easily bent and broken. These stakes go into the ground with relative ease, and you can hit 'em with a mallet if the ground is that hard. Removal is fairly easy; if the ground is hard, hook the string over your mallet handle and pull. Out they come! We've never had a problem with these, and we have tried just about every kind of stake available.Customer Review: The best

Simply the best tent stake on the market today. I've been a Scoutmaster for 23 years and have gone through dozens of different designs of tent stakes looking for the most perfect one out there: this is it. They can be bought for about $2 ea. If you look around you can find cheaper copies sold in different colors but unless you're buying them by the hundred as I am, it's not worth the search. The three sided design grabs the soil, placed sideways it hold in sand and snow. The anodized aluminum is very lightweight but drives into the hardest ground. ...and the lifetime warranty means you'll never have to pay for a tent stake ever again!Customer Review: DA BOMB!

I have been using the coleman big ol' nail with a collar tent stakes for years. They don't break or bend and they don't come out of the ground under stress, but they are heavy and hard to pull out. I bought these tent stakes to take on RAGBRAI 2010 and guess what? They don't break or bend and they don't come out of the ground under stress, BUT they are light, easy to pack and they pull out of the ground smooth and easy. I have never been a believer in aluminum tent stakes, but these are terrific. I am very satisfied that I bought them.
