The History
Tent Stake

3/22/07

For several months now the production and sales of these tent stakes have been turned over to David Blankenship.

Before that we just completed a sale of 5000 spikes for a home builder in the central United States. With the completion of that we are now able to provide larger quantities for your convenience.

When I went looking to replace the plastic tent stakes that came with my tent, I found that there were no tent stakes built well enough to use in tough soil conditions. Stakes that were built out of plastic were likely to break the first time I hit a buried rock or tree root.

The steel stakes on the market were made from sheet metal, with a sorry looking wire hook tacked in place, if the hook didn't come loose the sheet metal might bend.

Some other metal stakes had steel spikes but were fitted with a small plastic hook near the head... another recipe for disaster.

It was then that I designed and built my first tent stakes. They work great and with a few new ideas and a little redesign I have introduced the stakes for sale on this site.

I've been using these spikes for several years on my own camping trips and since I've started selling them on the Internet they've been sold to people across the nation. Several hundred were sold to the U.S. Army.

More research and thought has been put into additional products and accessories. Including an attachment to convert these spikes into sand and snow anchors as well as custom pullers and drivers. With any luck some of these products will be available very soon.
