Needed some stakes for my Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL2. These stakes do everything you ask them to do. I looked at a ton of different stakes and thought these were the best since they were super light and had a groove at the top that other stakes lacked.

Amazing how hard it is to find good stakes included with the tent. Bought these as replacements and they have performed great and held up so far!

Like others, I purchased these after the stakes that came with my tent became bent and didn't hold well. These stakes penetrate the ground well and hold on strong. According to my food scale, the set of 6 weighs, 3.15 ounces or 89 grams. I have slept five nights with the stakes so far and my only complaint is that I managed to to bend one of them slightly, but it is still 100% functional.

Never worry about losing your tent stakes again. These as extras in your gear bag are awesome and you will rest easy knowing your tent AINT GOIN NOWHERE!

If you are done with the crappy, plastic, and broken tent stakes then look no further. These guys are BURLY and are extremely light weight. After picking these up and realizing how much nicer it is to have a really nice tent stake. I will never go back again.

I got these stakes for staking out a tarp for a camp shelter. I haven't used them in any crazy weather, but general windy days were just fine. The stakes didn't bend during placement and were removed and came clean easily from damp soil .

After a summer of camping, I have managed to damage or loose quite a few of the stakes than came with my tent. These are a welcome upgrade. They are far more durable, are easier to drive in the ground and weigh less. Positives all around.

I bought these after the stakes that came with my tent bent. These are much stronger and just as light. I have bought a few sets to replace the stakes for all of my tents.

These are my go-to stakes when I purchase a new tent. Super strong and easy to drive in the hard surfaces. Highly recommend.

If you have a tent and the original tent stakes are not really working or bending when you pound them in I would check out these. They are made out of a stronger material so they do not bend really easily and hold in the ground really well. Check these out if you need a spare set of tent stakes or want to try something a little more heavy duty

Groundhog stakes have become my go-to for most conditions. The design has worked great - -plenty of hold in a variety of soil conditions, very hard to bend given the Y design. The little loops to help extract are also great. As other have mentioned, there isn't a huge catch for the guyline, but I've never found it to be an issue when there's tension on the lines. I've used both for freestanding tents and tarp setups and been pumped with the results for both.

Grabbed these to add to my MSR Elixir 2p set up. Much lighter then the stock stakes and will work great.

I've used these stakes in all kinds of conditions and they excel in them all. From dirt to sand to hard packed rocky soil I've had no issues driving these into the ground or having them secure my tent. The nylon loop makes extracting them a cinch. Even in the windiest conditions they've worked great. Definitely replace those worthless stakes that came with your tent, you won't regret it.

These are a solid replacement for most standard tent stakes that bend when you look at them funny. These are light enough to backpack with, not too big, and there is really no fear of bending or breaking them due to their design. They do not offer a huge catch for the tent chords, but if you drive them in at an angle with adequate tension, they will do the job without any issue.

This stake is very strong, but the top isn't designed well. The stock stakes with my tent bend, these do not. They're really strong. My complaint is that the top isn't designed to catch the corner of the tent webbing very well. I can rig a cord to make it work or drive it at an angle and it works okay but it would be better if the stake had a disc shape on the top that extended out about a quarter inch around the shaft. A disc shape like this would also protect feet that step on the top of the tent stake. My daughter hurt her foot when she stepped on a stake in flip-flops and the stake struck her arch just to the side of the flip-flop's sole.

I wish I looked up the product details closely when I did my purchase. They also come in 8 pack instead of 6, and it is the same price. And unfortunately, my tent takes 8 of them to tie it down. Sigh... But qualitywise, this is my second time buying them. They should be standard ground stakes for any tents, period.
