MSR Groundhog Stake

The MSR Groundhog is a lightweight aluminum tent stake. It is three-sided to better secure your tent, rain fly, or footprint. It is red, which looks very cool, and which makes it easy to find and to avoid tripping over when walking around the tent. This stake has notches at the top for attaching tent lines and a pull cord to help remove it from the earth. It is not inexpensive, costing two to three times more than less high-tech tent stakes.
