Probably easiest way as alreay complete but using paracord instead of stainless wire. If you want to make your own the plain sand stakes are on amazon too and the wire I used was 1mm stainless crimped together with ferrules.
Appreciated this video. How do you think this fares against a deadman stick burried horizontally or using a burried stuff sack filled with sand? I guess using a sand stake like this is less work, but maybe not as strong as those other options
Never heard of a deadman stick but sounds like it works on the same principle. Stuff sacks, filled with large stones partly buried would probably work well too. I've yet to use these in any sort of wind but they seem to do the job, if the sand is bone dry though they are not very effective unless buried deep.
@@AndysEastCoastAdventures thank you for taking the time to respond. What I was thinking of is using a stick as a deadman anchor like in this video czcams.com/video/xjuOz7ddda4/video.html
Agreed, deadman stick or even better buried bag approach optimal in sand or other very loose ground. The advantage of these 'sand stakes' is that they are multifunctional; can use as a deadman stake but can be used similar to a standard stake in loose ground and could even be used in soft ground (difficult to batter down into firm or, stony ground). Then also useful for digging catholes. I carry just one use a set of standard or mini groundhogs depending on the tent. As suggested by Andy, a parallel section of shock cord on the guy is a good idea although I haven't tried that.
Always these wannabe instructors who tell you to put stakes in at 45 degrees. It would be funny if it weren't telling beginners how to set yourself up for a failure.
@@Funkteon There are numerous demonstrations done by knowledgeable people. It's shown that a proper anchor set at around 10 degrees and *driven down deeply* is suitable for most applications. For lines that are close to vertical you may add a few more degrees. Proper equipment and handling is mandatory.
Thanks I have these ones. Actually 3 of them. But no wire. I possibly need to make that. ❤
Exactly the info I was looking for! Thank you!
I made 4 of these designs last year. Best tip ever!
Great video, thank you. My sand pegs just arrived and I was wondering what to do with them as like you said, no instructions included.
I think you can deadman them. Bury them sideways with the anchor wire in the middle. ❤
Quite informative, thank you for the video.
Glad it was helpful!
that was informative, thanks
Brillian explanation thanks
Great demo. Could you post product links, please. Also, how do you make the guy line set-up things I see you using here?

What's your suggestion then?
