Wise Owl Outfitters Tent Stakes Heavy Duty 16 Pack – Lightweight Non-Rust Aircraft Aluminum Tent Pegs - Metal Ground Stakes for Camping, Canopy, Tarp

I picked up a 12-pack of these to replace the easy-to-bend stakes that came with a guy line-dependent tent -- a less than $20 upgrade that makes all the difference. They drive in smoothly, come out cleanly, and stay in place. They're super lightweight (and thus cool for backpacking), and I dig the bright red pull cord at the top (really helpful added visibility if your tent has a lot of guy lines). These are exactly as advertised: tough, simple, perfect. › I'm not including a photo of the actual stakes (WYSIWYG), but the photo here shows what they're actually capable of: in this case, securing a tent on a windy 5000-ft ridge.

Despite being relatively inexpensive, these stakes are made real well. They seem strong and sturdy, capable of holding down any tent I own . I acidentally kicked one of these stakes when it's in the ground, it bent a bit, but they are quite easy to bend back into shape if you have a crack to stick them in. Overall, I would highly recommend the Wise Owl tent stakes to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable option for securing their tent or tarp. I will update if I have issues in the future.

These stakes were purchased because the ones our tent came with were junk. We used these for a long time in the dirt and they removed fantastic, easy to clean, stored nice while packing and were very strong. The only problem I ran into was pulling them out of the ground in a gravel lot for tent camping. They drove in VERY well, no bends or breaks but after almost a week of camping we went to pick up and tried pulls by the cord to pull them out and the cord instantly broke. I hated to drive them into gravel but when it’s the only camp site you have you have to do what you need to do. Otherwise I would recommend these tent stakes to anyone looking to tent camp. These things were fantastic.

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.

Tent stakes. Tent pegs. Whatever you call them, these are nice. Comparable to ground hogs but cheaper. Highly recommend. Took these to Philmont without issue.

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.

Second time I have bought these. They are solid. My go to stakes for all of my shelters.

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.
