They&#39;re super-strong and long-lasting; light, too.</p> <p>Even standard pegs should last if you&#39;re careful about placing them. The biggest cause of damage is pressing them in with your foot. It&#39;s hard to tell if you&#39;ve come up against anything immoveable and the result is that the peg bends. Simply by taking a peg out and finding a different angle of insertion, you&#39;ll find that they last much longer. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/professional-campershould-i-upgrade-to-some-better-tent-pegs#post-1117121 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 13:25:02 +0000 snakebite 1117121@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>yeah, Deltas for grass and some big steel 6&quot; nail types, galvanised for those rockier sites </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/professional-campershould-i-upgrade-to-some-better-tent-pegs#post-1117076 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 13:13:15 +0000 odannyboy 1117076@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>just bought a large 8 man tunnel tent and it has the usual thin wire pegs that in the past have always bent really easily for me. is it common practice if you are a &quot;hardcore&quot; camper to bin these and get a load of better pegs?<br /> in the past the thin metal ones, one they are the slightest bit bent,will turn round in any srt of wind and chuck the guy ropes off. </p>
