Review on 🏕️ Optimized Ultralight Tent Stakes by Coghlan's by Andrew Amzallag

I used these pegs to attach the rain cover to my tent (Marmot Pulsar 2) and set up various tarpaulin configurations. They are Y-shaped, meaning they have three ridges that are 120 degrees apart. This type of construction makes these bars much stiffer than traditional lightweight aluminum bars by increasing the cross-sectional bending moment of the bars. This means you don't have to choose between curved stakes or 2-ounce steel stakes. I weighed each serving and they came out 0.5 ounces each. They can be used to hold guy ropes in place or to set up a rain cover in a tent. One thing to note is that they are not very good for marking the corners of the tent due to the lack of a shepherd's hook that holds the loops or rings to the tent body. I still use four tent hook pegs, but all the other pegs I use are because of their superior stiffness. In comparison, I live in Minnesota and usually camp in border waters or on the shores of Lake Superior. The ground there is strewn with glacial rock, and I usually plan on bending some regular aluminum stakes with a shepherd's hook when I go. I stuck these stakes into the ground with my boot and even tilted them to get around the edges of the roots and rocks. Likewise, the stakes seem to shed dirt before bending and I have yet to bend the stake. In summary, these are the best lightweight stakes I have used and I would highly recommend them if you have trouble bending the stakes.
