around a 3/4" steel rod. 4" of such a "pigtail" weighs almost nothing, requires no noise to get "seated" into the dirt, is adjustable for tension, (once it's "set") and holds a LOT better than any (feasible to carry) stake ever could.

Waiting to see what this is about.
Where are the pics?

I think it's the idea of taking a piece of 8 or 10 gauge aluminum wire and twisting/winding it into an corkscrew shape. Then screw that into the ground instead of using tent stakes.

Never tried it, but seems like "screwing" a home-made aluminum corkscrew into the ground would be problematic at best. But like I said, never tried it. In my emergency gear, for ground-stake use I carry 8-inch aluminum gutter nails. Weight pretty much nothing, but if used carefully can hold a surprising amount.

Could be wrong, and may be why I don't understand the "adjustable for tension" part.

Got to have gutter spikes'
The screw in dog tie outs are handy. An cheap, why waste time making something.

doubt the doggie ones are aluminum, but aint checked.

I bought one. Very light, I don't remember if it was aluminum. It held pretty good, but I didn't like the idea of tying up my Dog, so I only used it once. About $8.00, I think.

why should I waste time and money posting pics for lops?

Cop out! Cop Out! Cop out! YOU said you would post pictures of your airsoft set up a month ago. What money? It's free. Time? You don't work, all you have is time.

Don't sound so shocked. Punks gonna punk.

It would be a lot of fun to watch somebody twist a piece of 1/8in. any kind of wire in the ground.

 

[justme]

once it's corkscrewed, why not, dumbass? it's easy. you're getting dumber than garand, even.

Try it for yourself
