Found very heavy duty tent stakes at Home Depot

Has anyone found/used "spiral" stakes similar to dog tie-outs?

I would imagine it would work well in sand.

Like these ?

I use lag bolts and 2" fender washers...and my makita cordless impact. Much faster install .... But much faster removal. Length and size...depends on what I am using the stakes for...with a bad back and kids, I look for anything saves effort and time.

These are steel and cost about $2.00. I bring a 4 pound mini sledge hammer. They come is long lengths if needed. NEVER break and can be driven into anything softer than granite. I paint the top several inches white for visibility at night. Don't want to kick one of these in the dark when walking around camp. I have also had great success with rebar with the end cut off at an angle so it is sharp enough to drive into hard dirt.
Just another option.

Can't open your attachment. What are you talking about? Part number or description.

1.5" wide x 1/4" thick x 18" long metal stake for building concrete forms. I cannot understand whey anyone would mess around with plastic stakes for car camping when you can just use some big steel spikes. Works 100% of the time, unless you are in rock and then nothing works....

Bought some US Army surplus aluminum stakes at the local Army Navy store for $1.49 each. I have some of those big plastic stakes I bought at Harbor Freight which work ok in soft ground but break pretty easily.

Damn. I need to get in the milsurp tent stake business. There's an old man that sells junk at a local flea market that sells them 10 for five bucks.

I much prefer the tent stakes from US Cargo Control:

Hot forged and tough enough to be driven into anything you choose to. I use a short handled 16lb sledge to drive them. Prairie winds have yet to bother my wall tent or tarps when anchored thus.

Large branch a foot or more long cut sharp at one end and notch at the other cost free and if left behind will decompose.
I find any of the plastic ones will brake in short order and are a waste of $ if you just have to pay/spend your money go for the metal pegs over plastic....

It might even sprout a new tree to boot!

I originally bought some 12" 5/8 hook stakes from Monk Industries and they were way too heavy duty. I ended up getting 10" 5/16 steel tarp stakes and they are plenty heavy duty for me.
