These high quality pegs are designed to secure ropes for tents and tarps firmly in the ground for camping and other outdoor activities. While common pegs often bend when driven into the ground, Ellisse Stakes are made from forged steel and are extremely heavy duty and resistant to bending. Their unique oval shape helps to penetrate hard surfaces while holding themselves firmly without rotating in the ground. To pull them out, simply twist the peg 90 degrees to create space around the rod: it’s easy enough for children to help out as well. The pegs come in eight bright, easy-to-spot colors that stand out in the wild to keep you from tripping over them or leaving them behind. These small touches are the epitome of the Japanese spirit of omotenashi.
