MSR Groundhog Tent Stake Kit A high-integrity, all-purpose anchoring solution favoured by trekkers worldwide, providing an honest and unyielding hold in a wide variety of soil conditions without adding unnecessary weight to your pack.
The MSR Groundhog is widely considered the gold standard of tent stakes, engineered to offer a superior balance of strength and packability. Each stake features a high-integrity "Y-beam" cross-section that resists bending even when driven into firm or rocky Australian ground. This unique geometry allows the stake to bite deeply and hold fast by distributing the load across three distinct fins, significantly increasing the surface area compared to traditional needle pegs. Constructed from lightweight 7000-series aluminium, the Groundhog is built for those who require a dependable and rugged anchor that can withstand the rigours of repeated use in the backcountry.
