Shelter

Image: Poncho Heavy Duty Heavy Weight Army Poncho
These heavy-duty models have been nearly impossible to find for several years now. Too bad, because they are pretty useful. This model has a drawstring hood, tie cord at the waist, edge grommets, and 2-way side joining snaps. Made with military specification nylon twill weave with a heavy waterproof coating. Available, if you’re lucky, in olive drab only. Although this model is slightly cheaper, it's also slightly heavier. There's no reason not to get the light weight Army poncho.

Weight: 0.68kg
Length: 163cm
Width: 224cm

Image: Poncho Light Light Weight Army Poncho
 An excellent staple for any outdoorsman is the standard Army rain poncho. It can be used as a rain garment, sleeping bag, ground cover, lean-to shelter, or you can snap two together for a pup tent. It features a drawstring hood, edge grommets, and 2-way side joining snaps. Made with military specification rip-stop nylon taffeta with a urethane waterproof coating, which is lighter than its predecessor. It comes in woodland camouflage only.

Image: Easton Aluminum Tent Peg Easton Aluminum Tent Stake
 This tent stake is made by Mountain Hardware with Easton® 7075-T9 aluminum. It's easy to place in and pull out of the ground, thanks to its large head and sharpened point. There's a hole in the head of the stake to run 550 cord through for easier removal. The round shape doesn’t resist lateral movement as much as other designs but the longer length gives it additional holding power. The combination should work out just fine unless you’re pitching your tent in the sand or snow on a windy day. The price is right and the weight is the best yet.

Image: Snow Peak Titanium Peg Snow Peak Titanium Peg
 Titanium makes this peg both light and strong – and pricey. Strong tent stakes are nice, but aluminum works as well. It’s not the strength of the peg as much as the length and shape of the peg that counts. Snow Peak is just another company that has jumped on the trendy-Titanium-train (i.e. Ti laptop cases, Ti sporks, Ti mechanical pencils, Ti cookware and more). Enough of the rant. The V-shape cross-section does allow for compact storage of many pegs and helps resist moving side to side. It also features a hole located in the center of the peg for more secure anchoring, especially in sand or snow. For the price it should set your tent up for you and maybe even gather some wood.

Image: MSR Ground Hog Peg MSR Ground Hog Stake
 This aluminum tent stake is old-school, well-designed and very durable. The three-sided design provides extra holding power. The notch at top is handy for securing guylines and the attached nylon pull-cord allows easy removal. MSR makes great cookware and now great tent stakes too.

Weight: 20.1g
Length: 19cm
