TIP: The online
Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

I have just ordered some of these Sungpunet 7075 Aluminium alloy tent stakes, via Aliexpress.

Weight: 12 grams
Specs: 7075 Aluminium alloy

I believe they are somewhat similar to the MSR Groundhogs.
I'll report back on how they perform.

I don't think you will be disappointed as they appear to be the same ones recommended by the Andrew Skurka and Alan Dixon and often go by the moniker Kungix on Amazon and elsewhere. The little cord glows really nicely and they should be pretty tough-the Kungix ones are. Carry a bottle cap, if you want to push them in with your foot. They will suit your new LHG tent a treat. Good pick up.
