Wise Owl Outfitters Ultralight Aluminum Tent Stakes, 16 Pack

Great light weight tent stakes! I use them for bushcraft shelter demos as well as camping! Very sturdy for weight and will take some abuse! They do have reasonable limitations but I’m very satisfied with the product. I will order again when needed!

Let me first say that you need to understand what tent stakes are best for the right kind of ground. These, or any similar stakes, will not do fantastic in super hard, rocky ground, nor will they stay in super soft muddy ground/sand. These are your middle-range type of stakes, similar to the classic MSR groundhogs. With that said, however, I prefer these to the MSR groundhogs for three main reasons: 1) They're more sturdy at the "neck" than the groundhogs. I have gone through AT LEAST 8 or so groundhog stakes that bent way too easily at the top point where the guy line is supposed to catch, rendering them useless. These stakes are noticeably thicker in that area, and I've yet to bend one of these at that neck point (or anywhere) either by stepping on them, or banging on them with a rock. 2) They're smooth on all edges. The MSR groundhogs are quite sharp. Maybe that's supposed to be a good thing for getting them into the ground or something, but it seems unnecessary. And it has 2 cons. First, I've cut a guyline on them. And second, it increases your chances of cutting or poking a hole into some other piece of fabric in your pack. With the Wise Owls, even the tips are rounded off, so very little chance of tearing anything else up unless you're REALLY trying to, and even then it would probably be a bit of a challenge. 3) They're much, much cheaper. These are $20 for 16, the groundhogs are $20 for 6. So for a product you're going to eventually bend/break/replace, you might as well save a few bucks and not get super annoyed when something does happen to them. If with the extra money you never had to replace them, I would say go for the Groundhogs. But I really thing this is just a better product for a much better price. Also, for the gram counters out there, I haven't weighed them, but these are both listed at 13g (0.46oz) per stake.

Great stakes one question. How do I get out of rock?

Great lightweight stakes. Unfortunately when I used these for the first time, the ground froze the first night and they ended up snapping in half when I tried to remove them. Lesson learned.

These tent stakes turned a flapping cabin tent into Fort Knox. Once they are in the ground they do not slip out like the ones that come with tents. A must have if you want your tent to work.

Lightweight strong holds well

Every single bit as good as the competitors and at a fraction of the price. Not sure how. Don't really care. Good stuff!

These are sturdy as heck! No problems hammering into pretty compact dirt and rock on my recent camping trip. Pull cord makes removal super easy.

Excelente producto, construido con materiales muy resistentes, para uso rudo.
