Tent Stake Input

I saw a Youtube video on them at one of the recent OR shows. Pretty cool concept and essentially is the same idea as my design. In snow, sand and soft soil it works. Like I said I have been doing this for years and now that I am manufacturing my own gear I figured why not make them to sell.

Although I appreciate the toughstakes for snow and loose sand, I think most backpackers find them overkill.

Lawson's concept seems more flexible for the rest of us.
