    Default Securing a tent in stormy weather

    So after my recent episode with the Tipi I'm looking to add some extra types of tent pegs to my armoury in case of need.
    I have the Delta Pegs which are pretty much the defacto solution, however when in really soggy wet muddy ground they weren't holding, so I've been looking for alternatives.

    I notice on Tentipi's site that they do Ground Anchors which allow you to use 2 tent pegs at an angle to each other.
    Tentipi: Ground anchor 80

    I can't find these for sale anywhere though.
    These look like a useful addition to the kit with some 300mm long pegs.

    They do a 50 and a 30 aswell so the 80 may be huge. Give Caspar at Nordic Outdoor a call as they are importers. He may be able to source them for you.
    I went to the zoo recently. The only animal there was a small dog. It was a shihtzu

    Ok I've dropped him an email and we'll see what he says.

    You might be better calling.. My experience is they aren't great with the modern technologies that emails entail. The old telephone works every time.

    If he has them in stock I can pop over with some pegs as check out the sizes for you. Only a couple of miles from here.
