tent pegs

[captsteve2002]

I will admit that I went cheap, I went to Home Depot and bought 1/2" X 1 ft. rebar, and think they cost $0.76 each. If I accidently leave one behind I won't feel bad. To see them and not step on one, I put empty soda/ beer cans over them and when finished camping throw the cans away. They are easy to get out with a normal claw hammer and a piece of wood. Have worked well on our last three time out.

Alright, so Captain Steve went cheap, how about the other end of this idea ?! Since many on this forum are concerned with saving weight . how about tent stakes made from titanium ?

Titanium @ $4.00 each, others would be stealing them. I stick to the cheap rebars @ .75 ea.

I suppose to be fair, I'd have to have a couple of bikini girls for the husband. I'll stick to pegs.

Wal Mart tent pegs, mentioned before, by far the best, Keep a hammer in the back of your tow vehicle is helpful. Strong, Cheap and get er done.

We use them for the guide lines on the awning and on our screen tent. They bend, they get stuck in the ground and are a pain to get out, if plastic or part plastic, the hook part breaks off.

We need more again this season and wondered what kind others use, or if they are all, just a product you have to buy plenty of, and keep replacing? Thanks. terry r.

I gave up on pegs and use the twist stakes used for staking a dog leash. They screw into the ground, don't break, don't come out with out twisting in reverse, and I buy them at our dollar store for $1.00 each.
