- When you're at the beach, you're there to have fun. Nothing puts a damper on said fun like discovering that your tent has blown half a mile down the beach while you and your friends were out enjoying the waves. The Toughstake™ will ensure that that doesn't happen. At up to 10x stronger than conventional stakes without any additional bulk, the Toughstake won't let your tent move until you're ready to go home.
Looks good, but blatant cheating in the pull test, he’s holding the hook! Also pulling angle for others was much higher. Don’t sabotage what looks like a great product with bad editing!
Thanks for your feedback!!, though the results seem not possible, you would be absolutely amazed at the stakes performance in sandy material. Send me an email at : eric@toughstake.com and we will send you out a test kit for your review, Thanks!
It's a pretty shit product to be honest. The way they are using it really won't help anymore then the stakes that come with tents. There is a proper way to anchor stakes in sand/snow, dig a hole and place the stake level horizontally in the hole and bury it. You can leave the guy line loose and adjust it properly once all stakes are set
Yes I was thinking that too when watching the video. Sabotage for sure!
that newton meter demo at 1:35 is such bullshit. he's hanging onto the hook and then the cutaway.....come on.
dang, post a buy link in the description for f's sake
Ive used these stakes, there is NO comparison, in sand or loose soil they are king, in snow as well, although in snow, you can pretty much use anything as a deadmans anchor and it will work.
I like the sand anchors (triangle bags) for sand. Maybe wouldnt work in snow though?
@@mrwhatevz8907 anchor bags work great in snow. just a bit of a hazzle to get them out, but it's the same with metal stakes
You don't use soil stakes in sand. Typical bullshit ad to fool the newbies.
Can you buy them tent pegs from the £ 1 pound shops 😂😂😂
Where can I buy them from please?
MSR bought this brand and now they are marketed as "MSR Toughstake." They're also $40. Sorry, I'll just dig a deadman anchor.
I ended up making my own out of an old top rail of a sliding shower door track, took about 30 min. to make 6
Brilliant product guys. Love your demo's and great pro video's. :)
Just use a buried plastic bag full of sand; works great and is far lighter and costs less.
can you get it back the day(s) after without a trace of trash left behind?
or get some snow/sand anchor bags and you get something that works even better and longer lasting
cool stuff, by the way why is the V groove facing away from the string? wouldn't it be even better if the V faces towards the string?
Just thinking the same thing. They didn't follow their own instructions.
The way in the video makes more sense. The force acting perpendicular to the face providing tension on the wire is (probably) effectively the same installed either way. But the stake is more stable the way they show here, especially if the tension isn't perfectly perpendicular to that face. If you install it backwards from this video and the wire is pulled at an angle to the stake, the sides of the stake can pretty easily dig in the sand in the direction the wire is pulled. But do the same with the stakes installed the way they do here, and the stakes will resist turning/twisting.
Ah! I see what you're saying. If the stake is placed imperfectly, some angle theta, away from perpendicular to the cable, then the moment on the stake is equal to the tension in the cable multiplied by the moment arm of sin theta. As the stake rotates, theta increases, as does the moment applied by the cable of the stake, producing a positive feed back loop.
@@danielculver2209 You could have just left it at "Ah! I see what you're saying". You had to flex though...
@@ArktikosAdventures Haha I like to flex on occasion... but not as much as yo mammas waistband :b
Actually... Using those ultra light stakes are better in sand and snow when used properly..
Just dig down and place it level horizontally in the hole and fill in the hole. It will not come out unless extreme winds to the point it's not even safe to be camping.
Any one who would be going camping when there is that much snow probably already knows this though.
This tough stake product is a gimmick
Rad; working smarter, not dumber.
I'm trying to come up with some kind of steak that can be locked into the ground on the beach. I regularly go surfing and leave some stuff on the beach and I'm thinking of taking a phat bike down the coast to look for perfect desolate point breaks and would like to easily secure my things insight.
It doesn't have to be Fort Knox, but I don't want people to be able to pick up the bike and ride away with my stuff. If they had to tamper with things then I could at least have time to catch a wave and make it to the beach to confront whomever.
If anyone has ideas or links to helpful info, please comment or drop me a message.
Keep it up peeps!
Cool, but I've made one with a couple of angled aluminum and some slings. Thanks for the idea.
Cool innovative with the guy line coming off the bottom of the stake, middle might be fine too.
Just use a normal sand/snow stake the way it's supposed to be used and you are fine.
The amazing thing is that the manufacturer suggests using these backward! They should be used with the point of the "V " pointing away, thereby creating a cup to pull against. Before you dislike me, test it. You will see a huge improvement. No BS.
BS. curved out as pressure works perpendicular to surface so you get more ground weight when convex surface is presented to direction of pull. Same w snow stakes, or any other V stake. class over
gotta say, looks like a very clever solution
Wow!
Cool design
useful product
You're a moron, have you even used it? Because I have, you cannot beat these unless you pour a concrete footing, unreal the armchair know it alls...
Good luck on using this on actual ground!
These are for sand or snow, NOT dirt, they are KING!! ive used them in 70mph storms with tornadoes in the area, last one being on the Wisconsin river last week, look up the June 28 storm..., rock solid. Nothing like them.
