I got sick of bending tent pegs, then one day I stumbled upon the Supa Peg. I can't recommend them enough!

Michael I found the Supapeg about 5 years ago and used them at Whitecliff Well in western NSW. It was the only peg that would go into the concrete like soil without failing. Also used them in the Gammon Ranges where shale tris your patience on ever hammer blow. Great product and great review.

Nice find mate, but something i started doing recently, i carry my small cordless drill with me and a long masonry drill bit just a tiny bit narrower than the tent peg, so i zip the drill bit into the ground, stick the tent peg in and holds perfectly. We have lots of roots and rocks in our soil, so i got tired of hitting them and destroying tent pegs, the drill bit makes quick work of roots and most rocks

Bridge spikes work well ~ 8-10 in (20 - 30 cm) nails. Some time ago when a leader of a youth travel camp, was in Waterville Valley New Hampshire, had done all the permits etc to have a dozen kids plus staff in a Forest Service Campground. A Forest Service pick up drives by, stops and backs up. I walk out to met the guy, mind racing through how did I "mess" up. I get asked what are you using for tent pegs. The perfect flat area was an abandoned paved road covered in 3 inches (~ 75 cm) of dirt. No other group been able to set tents there. I did acknowledge the bridge spikes did resist driving, but were holding super. BTW when backpacking we used Aluminum pegs or for cut wooden ones.

@michaelfisher9671 5 жыл бұрын

The superpeg pressed metal peg is also very strong and has the advantage that it will hold well in sand. I have bent one once but it took real abuse. And the flexibility of also being able to use them on sand means they are my pick.

Another tip is you can take 3/8 (10 mil for those other folks) square stock mild steel. Cut a 45 deg angle on one end, go back about 16 inches and do a standard 90 deg cut. Take a torch or campfire and heat the 90 deg end at about 2 inches ( 50 mil) and bend it over a little past 90 deg. You then have one heck of a good tent peg that only cost you about $ .10 US and some elbow grease.

Big improvement over the typical stock stakes! But I prefer MSR Groundhogs. They work in a variety of soil types. Small down side is they can be a little shorter and they are aluminium. I have not had a problem yet with them being aluminum but the head does get a little beat up with a metal hammer using a plastic "camping" hammer gets torn up by the stake. Not all triangular designs like them are the same either. I used a Coghlans once and it sucked.

@zaneh6224 5 жыл бұрын

Mick, these are now only $1.59 for the 300mmm x 8mm that's a bargain if they work as you say, Drifta have the forged pegs but start at $9.50, which is still ok as they are hand made in Japan, but will add up if you buy a few.
