MSR Groundhog Stake Kit

Saturday, April 5th, 2008


It’s hard to believe that one tent stake can be so much better than another, but the Groundhog is a great example. It’s 3-sided, so it has more surface area to ‘grab’ the ground, making it more resistant to those big winds that will rip up other tent stakes. They are 7.5 inches long, and weigh just over 1/2 an ounce each. Each stake includes a loop of reflective chord so they are easy to remove from the ground.
