Tent peg strategy
Posted: Mon May 08, 2023 12:24 am
I’ve usually relied on x6 mini Groundhog-like pegs with one multifunctioning Azarxis snow/sand stake. On my latest outing, the only site for pitching my tent was stony. My Groundhogs just about managed.
My thought for the future is to supplement my pegs with one sturdy titanium nail (15g) that can make holes through hard ground but insert my Groundhogs in those holes. I would not rely on nails in regular ground conditions and would not relish carrying an additional 6x15g of stakes.
There’s no stony ground nearby for a shakedown. Do you think this strategy might work? Yes, you can sometimes attach guys to tree branches or rocks but sometimes, as in the above experience, these options are not available. Is there any other wheeze for pitching on stony (or frozen) ground?
