 "Amazing" 2010-09-01
By Andrew
I have used this tarp with just my trek pole and some paracord. It holds up in wind and rain like a four season tent. I trust this product to keep my butt safe and dry on every weekend backpacking trip. If i could give this a ten out of five i would. Trust me on this its a great buy and will last you a life time. I have used mine at least twenty times and its still as new as the day i walked into the factory and paid for it.

 "How much time do you want to spend rigging it?" 2010-03-31
By John Smith (Denver CO)
It's a mixed blessing. I bought it instead of a one man tent, b/c I wanted:

to save weight

to save $

and I heard tarps are all the rage in ultralight backpacking nowadays.

I spent loads of time online researching various ways to set it up. Using 2 trekpoles, rigging as a tarp tent w/ one trekpole, rigging it between 2 trees using a paracord roofline. Foul weather rigging etc...



I've taken it out overnighting now 4 - 6 times. 1/2 of the time it withstood rain very well b/c I was able to rig it well. The other 1/2 of the time...I would not have wanted to be there if it was raining. I've also yet to encounter serious winds....this scares me, especially if you can't stake it well.



Sometimes it has taken me 1/2 hour ,or more ,to get it rigged well enough to feel confident in it. Sometimes I was able to do it in 5 -10 minutes. It all depends on how much room you have, are there boulders that prevent you from staking where you need to? Are the trees close enough? etc...if the soil is rocky, you better hope you have some trees...that's an argument for something w/ poles instead. At least you can set up a tent without stakes if you must...



So, it can be both fun/creative to set up, and be frustrating. Better hope it isn't raining and windy when it is time to set it up! And by the time I added some $15 mosquito netting and a $15 cheapo survival bivy bag/ground cloth, I was inching towards the weight and cost of a quality ultralight $$$ one man tent , quality bivy bag, or quality one man poncho tent. Had I had another $100 or more to spend, I would've gone w/ an ultralight $$$ one man tent, $$$ bivy or $$ poncho tent.



But , for the $ I saved at the time, and the brainpower I've used rigging it, it has been worth it.



Plus I've learned all kinds of new knots! Go to [...] for rigging and knot videos. Also youtube etowah8x10 tarp set up for the easiest fair weather tarptent . see adventure alan for more on ultralight backpacking.

 "Not Quite MSR Ground Hogs" 2010-08-24
By Lux Camper (Indiana)
These stakes are hard almuminum, and take hammer hits well. Pulling out of most soils was easy enough. Their shape provides good holding power and easy removal. Where they fall short of Ground Hogs, is their bending point. Wall thickness is thinner, and they will bend even when driven up to their necks. To give the stakes credit, I was loading them very heavily; far more than I could have loaded wire stakes, and others.



Overall, I like them. For only $7 I had to give them a try. I am a recreational camper who doesn't need ultra-reliable stakes, and these were actually pretty good. Probably a good purchase for campers who don't really need eight Ground Hogs (like me).



Those who travel all over, and need reliable stakes to pound into concrete will need Ground Hogs, but for those who need good stakes for regular dirt, these work well.



P.S. I straightened my 2 bent stakes, and they will hold pretty much anything I tie on them. Just not the ridiculous load that originally bent them.

 "Work very well and strong" 2010-07-09
By S. Karl (Michigan)
I picked these up as an alternative to MSR Groundhogs or Sierra Designs Y-Stakes.



One things I really like about these is that they are long 9" length. My Sierra Design Y-Stakes are only about 6".



After reviewing them, they are all about the same strength. Extremely hard to bend by hand(even my giant hands- I'm 6'4 300+lbs). All the brands performed the same, great. And miles better then the provided stakes with my Kelty Gunnison 4.1.





Is any brand better than the other? Not really. They are made in different lengths by the different brands but that's about it. So pick the length that works for you. Oh, some include a paracord like loop, some don't. Whether that helps your case or not is up to you to decide. Some say it helps when you're pulling them out of the ground.



If you don't want to deal with the y-shape(attaching to the tent is sometimes tricky or frustrating) I would suggest looking at Sierra Design's Hex-Peg stakes or Kelty Nobendium Stakes. The Sierra Design stakes are a bit stronger than the Kelty stakes as I stated in my other reviews.

 "Excellent stakes" 2009-11-24
By S. D. Weitzenhoffer (Houston, TX United States)
I have both the MSR Ground Hog stakes, and these. These stakes are essentially the same thing, and are a fraction of the price.
