Verdict: Costly, yet they definitely do the job or securing your tent in snow!


The MSR Blizzard tent stakes are a type of tent pegs specifically designed for use in snow or really soft sand.

Designed to provide a secure anchor for your tent or shelter in snowy or loose soil conditions, ensuring that your shelter stays in place during inclement weather.

 

The Blizzard tent stakes are made from lightweight aluminium, making them strong enough to hold up in tough weather conditions, while still remaining relatively lightweight and easy to carry in your backpack. They are designed with a semi-pointed edge that makes it easy to drive the stake into snow, even when the conditions are challenging.

 

One of the key features of the MSR Blizzard tent stakes is their unique shape, which helps to increase their holding power in soft ground conditions. The stakes have a concave design that allows them to dig deeper into the ground when under tension, creating a secure anchor that is less likely to pull out in windy or snowy conditions.

 

Another important feature of the MSR Blizzard tent stakes is their high visibility colour. The bright red colour makes it easy to spot the stakes, even in snowy conditions, so you can be sure you've retrieved all of your stakes before closing down your camp.

 

Overall, the MSR Blizzard tent stakes are an essential piece of gear for winter camping, mountaineering, and other outdoor activities that involve setting up tents or shelters in snow or soft ground conditions. They are durable, lightweight, and designed to provide a secure anchor for your shelter, ensuring that you stay safe and comfortable during your outdoor adventures.
