The MSR Mini Groundhog stakes are lightweight, compact and all-purpose pegs for securing your tent in firm soil. Supplied with pull loops for easy removable.
MSR says:
This smaller, lighter version of our popular Groundhog tent stake saves weight while offering the reliable performance of the original. The proven Y-beam design penetrates and holds in medium to firm soil, while the 7000-series aluminum provides years of strength and durability. A pull loop allows for easy removal. Sold as a kit of 6 stakes.
These aluminium pegs grip well - ideal for soft ground when wire pegs won`t hold. Pre-corded so you can pull them out easily. Nifty colour and with neat white writing on them! We like detail.
Weighing only 10 grams per peg they are almost 40% lighter than the standard Groundhog stakes. They are not the lightest pegs that MSR make but they are definitely not the heaviest.
So glad I made the choice to upgrade to these! My old "V" shape pegs were bent into all sorts of spirals from trying to drive them into firm ground. These "Y" shaped ones go in easily but give a nice firm hold. The notch in them looks awfully small, but so far I've not seen a guy rope or tent loop slip off the peg.

Very light, well-made and strong, too.
Not a thing wrong with these, although I wish they came a little shorter. They are, if anything, over-built and could be made lighter still if they were 2cm shorter and L-profile rather than the tri-profile in design.
Pleased with them, nevertheless. Recommended.
