12 Pack Tent Stakes, 7075 Ground Metal Camping Aluminum Tent Pegs, Lightweight Tent Stakes Heavy Duty Spikes Camping Accessories

They came in a cute little bag, in a fancy little slim package. I did some research and was interested in the MSR Groundhog stakes but then came across these. They are very light and sturdy - just don't slam a 20-pound rock at 40 miles per hour against them trying to jam them into the hard pressed dirt and rock, because they will break, obviously... They're very lightweight and a nice pretty color too (red). I like that they come with a fluorescent string attached. It definitely helps you see them at night when the light hits them and when you're trying to pull them out from the ground.If you're going to use these on grass or medium padded dirt, these will work great and are a far better value alternative to the MSR stakes, therefore, saving you money. MSR stakes are 6 for $16 (price varies from $16-20). These are 12 for $8. Relative value means that you're paying 1/4 the price for one of these, compared to an MSR stake, and you're basically getting the same use/ability (of the stake). I'm happy I found this and cut costs.My thoughts and criteria for products I review: (Amazon’s Rating Criteria in Parentheses)* 1 Star (I hate it!): Feel it's a waste of money. Will never use it again. Would never recommend. Not safe to use. Either throw away or return it.** 2 Stars (I don’t like it): Don't like it and wouldn't use it again, but may still have at least 1 positive thing about it.*** 3 Stars (It’s ok): Product has both positives and negatives, and I may or may not continue using it. Someone else may like it more and is potentially still worth purchasing.**** 4 Stars (I like it): Item as described in functionality, purpose, and quality. May have 1 or 2 things I don't care for or would change, but not big issues. Would recommend if asked, but wouldn't say I love it.***** 5 Stars (I love it!): Practically perfect. Nothing lacking in functionality or quality. Love it and would not only recommend, but would purchase for others and continue to purchase for myself.

I used these stakes on my last camping trip. They are very nice and easy to use. They are also very light. I like how they are a brighter color so you can see them. Ive had black ones which were a nightmare. Id recommend these.

Camped twice already with these stakes. I bought them to replace some conventional hooked stakes that typically come with tents (since those had horrendously bent every which way). Since I am still using some existing stakes that are still straight, I have only used a few of these to replace those that had bent. So far they have not bent nor broken , which I was afraid of based off some reviews. They seem to hold quite well to the earth, but then when it's time to take them out, it can be a little hard since the lanyard is pretty short. They are super light, so I can imagine that these would be ideal for hikers/backpackers. Nice that it comes with a carrying case, too.The only troubling part was that it was actually cutting into our malet! We typically use a malet for the hooked stakes, but these aluminum tent stakes really ate away our malet when in semi-hard dirt (not rocky). The first use was in softer dirt (grazing field) and the malet survived ok. We will need reconsider how to drive them in. Perhaps just a hammer will do. Will be taking these babies out for their third run soon! On the brighter side, I guess the product held up pretty well!

For normal camping conditions, these stakes are great. I haven't tried them in really rocky soil, but for the gravel you typically find at most campsites, they work perfectly. They're sturdy and won't bend like the ones that come with most tents, and they're easy to set up and extract. I'm very satisfied with them.

I will never use bent metal stakes for my tent ever again. These things are lightweight and work really well.

Bought these quite a while ago and im here again to buy more. Figured I'd leave a review bc I see that several people claim that they bend and break. They are aluminum. They are not thick. I beat mine into the ground with a hatchet/hammer combo (one of the most useful camp tools I've ever owned. Iykyk). And ofc I've broken these in the past which is why I need more. But that's not the products fault. If you understand aluminum you'll understand that uncentered hits and impacts will bend it. But if you take proper care of these, they will do you a lot of good.Assuming proper use -These stakes hold in the ground better than any I've ever used. I always place them at a right angle to the force pulling on them and wow, they create an excellent hold. They also allow you to hammer them in flush with the ground, so you won't injure yourself tripping or stepping on them, which if you camp enough, you know is a huge risk. The little cord loop they come with is fine for a while, but I've replaced all of mine with aluminum aircraft cable loops I've made for cheap at home depot. That removes all negative aspects of these stakes for me. Some how, when placed in packed earth, these stakes hold well so even if you're pulling them straight out from how you placed them, they really don't want to come out. Which is where I usually break the original cord.All in all, these stakes fulfill all my needs and I even trust them to hold my tarp when I use it as a wind break on the side of a mountain. The way I tie guy lines allows me to tension my lines to a ridiculous amount, and I worry about ripping my gear before I worry about these stakes lossing their hold. Buy these, and buy a way to hammer them into the ground. You won't regret it

I have not used these yet, but they look well made and I'm sure they will do the job!

Perfect length. Easily hammered down and easy to remove . Works well and performed as described

Great on soft ground not so on hard pace gravel better for rope,twine

Bent two first time used.

Sturdy and in my opinion equal the name brands at 1/4 the price. Bags too small but the deal is the tent pegs.

Worked on our tent fine but they also snap very easily (we had 2 snap without even doing anything strenuous to it except what it should be capable to do) which makes me feel unsafe and uncomfortable with using them again on my tent
