Unmatched Holding Power in a Ultralight, Compact Y-Beam Profile

The MSR Mini-Groundhog Tent Stakes are the go-to choice for backpackers and alpinists who prioritize weight savings without sacrificing the structural security of their shelter. These stakes utilize MSR's proven 7000-series aluminum Y-beam design, which provides incredible structural rigidity and superior penetration in a wide range of soil densities—from hard-packed backcountry tracks to soft, loamy forest floors. At just 6 inches in length, they are purpose-built for fast-and-light setups where every gram counts, yet they punch well above their weight in terms of anchor reliability.

Every Mini-Groundhog is finished with a highly reflective pull-loop, making it easy to locate and extract your stakes during late-night tent adjustments or during a quick, dawn-departure pack-up. The notched head design ensures your guy lines remain securely seated throughout the night, even in gusty, fluctuating wind conditions. Whether you are anchoring an ultralight trekking-pole tent or securing a high-performance alpine shelter, these stakes offer the ultimate balance of compact packability and the uncompromising holding power required for unpredictable mountain environments.
