I wonder how these compare. Wonder if they come from the same factory.

Aug 17, 2012 at 4:03 pm #1903608Must admit they look like MSR Groundhog stakes, which (to date) are my favorite stakes ever for holding power. The price seems pretty sweet.

Different shape head for a start
There are plenty of Y stakes about including from some reputable tent makers, not just MSR.
FrancoAug 18, 2012 at 8:03 am #1903702I use the Coghlan's ultralight, nine inch variety. No problems yet but the ground is soft here.
Aug 18, 2012 at 12:16 pm #1903754I see the deal extreme name in the title so I ran. I ordered two things from them. 10 mini lights which work for about 3 to 5 minutes each and then start sputtering. And a soft water bottle that never arrived. They just sent me an email over a year later to ask if I was ever refunded. Just spend your money on lotto tickets.
