 Alert | | When camping and the weather forecast is for a strong wind that night, I tie the ropes of my tent to 600mm star pickets that I've hammered deep into the ground. Much more secure than a flimsy old tent peg! | | | |

Alert | Great idea, and I guess you would use them all the time regardless of how the weather was? Otherwise, I couldn't justify carrying star pickets if it meant they were just extra gear - in case.
Weather, fortunately, doesn't affect us now when we camp, as we have a caravan, and we can just roll the awning up! LOL. | | | |

Alert | | We bought tent pegs in Cooma NSW. They're specially hardened for hard/cold/icy gorund and will go in almost everywhere. Even Coober Pedy. Our pegs went in when everyone else's were bending. Take up far less room than star pickets as well. | | | |

Alert | We use those screw in dog pegs that you can buy at cheap shops for a couple of bucks, then use small ratchet straps on them they can also be used in sandy soil, a good tip is to twist the ratchet straps a few times as this stops them humming in the wind.
