- I got sick of bending tent pegs, then one day I stumbled upon the Supa Peg. I can't recommend them enough!

Legend has it that when he hits his thumb with the hammer he still smiles
noturaveragewatcher hahahahaha
That's the first thing I noticed.
Its like his lower lip is permanently paralyzed in a grinning position; it doesn't really move.
Sorta annoying really.
Dude. I just found your channel and love it. Totally deserves more subs. You have just earned one
4 years ago I watched this video and stocked up on SupaPeg steel pegs. I finally bent the first one last weekend into some of the hardest dirt I've ever tented on. Good pegs.
Hey mate, you've gotta be the best reviewer / story teller ive heard, awesome, love watching your vids mate
In a store and came across these and remembered this video.Bought a set, used them for a 9 day trip, had no issues with them. For a dollar each you can't go wrong.
And this is why I like your channel. Sometimes the minor often forgotten but important things can make a camping trip better.
mate, im loving your vids, great to see you've got a decent following already, well done :)
Bloody impressive! Didn't think there would ever be an unbendable peg out there hey
Keep up the cool reviews man. I just come across your channel last night. Very good keep up the good work.
Cheers Kev Gold Coast Queensland.
Michael I found the Supapeg about 5 years ago and used them at Whitecliff Well in western NSW. It was the only peg that would go into the concrete like soil without failing. Also used them in the Gammon Ranges where shale tris your patience on ever hammer blow.
Great product and great review.
Great job Michael. I bought 20 of these after watching your video. Cheap as chips and really work. I hate bent tent pegs. These things are very impressive. Thanks for the tip. Enjoying your other videos, too. Cheers PP
Great channel bud, keep em coming
So....Thanks to this video I just bought 20 of these!! love your vids mate keep up the great work!! Daz
These pegs are amazing hey. I found these a year ago at Tent World too and will never buy another peg again. Price is amazing for the quality 👍🏻
I only use light pegs because mine is a small tent that I occy to my motorcycle but yep, pegs tend to swivel, bend, etc. I normally just carry about twice as many as I need but I'll be looking into this. Thanks mate.
I’ve seen 3 of your videos so far and you seem to be smiling the whole entire time 😁 you must have brass cheek bones
Hey I have been watching your videos great work, keep it up
Great video on Awesome pegs! We've loved them here for a long long time, Supa-Peg are a terrific innovative Australian company!
It's a mystery to us too but shhhh we prefer it that way!
@@SeekAdventure FYI - we've embedded this video onto all of our product listings now, so hopefully we can help you get some more views on this one! Keep up the good work - great videos! You can see it embedded here: www.tentworld.com.au/buy-sale/supa-Peg-175x6.3mm-galvanised-steel-key-head-tent-peg
Nice tip mate, time to buy some!
very good idea young man thank you for information
What the heck? I haven't even hit you! 😂😂😂 There's no way I'd tote around stakes that heavy, but I loved your video none the less. Keep it up!
That last shot of him chuckin' the log on with the piss-poor peg still in it had me in stitches. Good job ol' smiley mate!
Great video mate :) I'm from Perth too, so you got a new subscriber :) Cheers, Don (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)
Nice test, mate - for small stakes they look like good ones. I use the larger Galvanized steel spiral anchor pins with clear plastic protective sleeve. They don't bend and never come out, unless you want them to come out. They even work great in pure sand.
This the most important video on UA-cam!
I go to Home Depot and buy 8-10 inch galvanised nails! They cost from $.50to 1.00 each. Work wonderful. Never have bent one yet.
Slip a fender washer on before you pound it in. Gives you a nice wide "top" so lines can't slip off past the nail head.
Bridge spikes work well ~ 8-10 in (20 - 30 cm) nails. Some time ago when a leader of a youth travel camp, was in Waterville Valley New Hampshire, had done all the permits etc to have a dozen kids plus staff in a Forest Service Campground. A Forest Service pick up drives by, stops and backs up. I walk out to met the guy, mind racing through how did I "mess" up. I get asked what are you using for tent pegs. The perfect flat area was an abandoned paved road covered in 3 inches (~ 75 cm) of dirt. No other group been able to set tents there. I did acknowledge the bridge spikes did resist driving, but were holding super. BTW when backpacking we used Aluminum pegs or for cut wooden ones.
I carry some thick so called earth nails, made of stainless steel. Had the same issues with tent pegs bending, especially in the mountaineous terrain. Once you hit a rock, 99% of pegs bend. The earth nails never let me down! Cheers, Marc
by far the best tent peg on the market...ive already swapped out all my tent, gazebo, awning & rain shelter pegs with Supa-Peg's
Great channel.... The best tent "pegs" I have found are U.S. G.I. 12" Aluminum Tent Stakes.
I'm a metal fabricator and I make them out of 8mm stainless steel round bar and a brake press. Also works. Love your videos!
I used to do this as well but still managed to bend them. Started using Supapeg and never went back. They are high tensile. Not worth the time and money making my own any more.
you are so correct about them not being readily available at camping stores, a real shame as they are great
Had some of these for a while with no issues👌
Real world test....bashes pegs into a lump of Jarrah! 😂Excellent, I’ll look out for these.
Nice find mate, but something i started doing recently, i carry my small cordless drill with me and a long masonry drill bit just a tiny bit narrower than the tent peg, so i zip the drill bit into the ground, stick the tent peg in and holds perfectly. We have lots of roots and rocks in our soil, so i got tired of hitting them and destroying tent pegs, the drill bit makes quick work of roots and most rocks
Fantastic video mate cheers
The superpeg pressed metal peg is also very strong and has the advantage that it will hold well in sand. I have bent one once but it took real abuse. And the flexibility of also being able to use them on sand means they are my pick.
Try the Snowpeak tent pegs, they are awesome also. Great video, subbed for sure !
Stores won't stock them because there is no replacement market.
You buy the crapy wire ones for every second trip, Apart from loss, you probably never need to replace these so they loose money.
.... We've stocked them for 10+ years.... I'll let the bean counter know where we've been going wrong!
make your own from rebar, never bent mine and they hold better than smooth steel
@@debeeriz good idea - the 9 inch Stakes are pricey
I haven't seen that much girth since I was in my wife's top drawer
Such a beautiful background mate, where is that? Convinced on the pegs just ordered some
love your work Michael, those pegs look great, but the hardest ground I camped at was Karijini Eco resort, we took a hammer drill and masonry bit 3 holes and the bit was melted!
you were just on a rock. LOL
Have you tried the Snowpeak pegs from Drifta
The pegs that come with the oztents are bloody good value aswell. I see at the start your guy rope is the same orange and had the same plastic hook as an oztent so assuming it is, have you bent one of their pegs aswell?
Just bought some from Snowys online. 225mm was $1.00. Look forward to tring them.
I'll be sure to look at them
Hey mate is that raw steel or galvanized, Which one would you use? Thanks mate
Just realised that I own these. Bought a Supa-Peg tarp and pole kit before chrissie, have only used once so far, though off camping in a couple of weeks.
Got a whole took bag full of them. They're great.
I got some of those pegs from aldi early this year, 24 pegs and a leg puller all in a handy lockable case.
$23.99 was the price also, the peg puller is crap but the pegs are great
Jarra wood block.. yep, hard as buggery there mate .! 😎🇦🇺👍👍👍
great real world comparison and demonstration. did you ever get the super peg back out?
Nice work! I just brought 15 after seeing this.
I just made my own out of 25mmx25mm angle line, welded a hoop and flat bit on top for hammering.
Ivica Banovic
: just checking, would that be "Angle Iron" (25mm Equal Angle)
Or if you are really desperate, take a few 400-600mm star pickets/posts...
Another good vid mate......
They look amazing!!! Really bummed I can't buy these in the US.
GREAT VIDEO! AWESOME ATTITUDE! ty
Bought those from TentWorld here in Melbourne. Great product but I found them too big to put through the eyelets in my Colman tent fly. Wish they had 1 size smaller available.
Use yah dremel an shave a mil or two off yah shaft then it should fit in yah eyelets
🇨🇦 I was wondering the whole way... how the heck will you remove the peg from the log !! 😝
What do you think of using lag bolts?
so you gotta have them mailed from Australia?
I guess I am lucky, I went looking for pegs that didn’t suck and went to tent world and got these pegs without knowing much except liking the look of them.
Omg your channel is awesome. You talk funny and remind me of Mic Dundee !!!
Mate, we think your mob talk funny... Not like haha funny, just funny...
Does Snowys mail outside of Australia? I like some of their other products and I'm in the United States of America.
I have used nails 6 or 8 inch ( 160 200 mm ) carpenters ones are a cheap alternative but take a claw hammer so you can pull them out later. I have thought taking big wood screws with hex or torx heads and using a speed brace and socket or even a battery drill if are car camping.
I came for the tent pegs, but I stayed for the smile.
Tent world are awesome . Best camping caravan suppliers store ever
Another tip is you can take 3/8 (10 mil for those other folks) square stock mild steel. Cut a 45 deg angle on one end, go back about 16 inches and do a standard 90 deg cut. Take a torch or campfire and heat the 90 deg end at about 2 inches ( 50 mil) and bend it over a little past 90 deg. You then have one heck of a good tent peg that only cost you about $ .10 US and some elbow grease.
I can't believe how fast your right hand hammers that peg; I suppose you must practise quite a bit.
good video, cheers
Where can I buy these? Tentworld want $20 delivery which is more than the pegs
Did ya get any pigs out there bro
thats really dependant on the grain and pre strain on the pegs in question
I have a pop up bug tent and I just anchor it with 12in/30cm spikes with a dollar washer. It is the second season for it now and the only time it moves is to and from the shed. A claw hammer plucks them out.
I live on the shores of the southern ocean, and I have put up tents with 36 inch long tent pegs (yes, 1 yard) and the wind still pulls them out. I'll believe in a super peg when it will work here in a 100kph sou'wester. Till then, no tents for me.
Nice channel mate
*10* - 8mm x 300m "RHINO" Pegs from bunnings @ $13.
Grind couple angled 'barbs/notches' on each one. Bobs ya Uncle 👍
The pegs that came with my oztent RV4 ate strong as. I havent bent them but they are thick and heavy. I use them.
100% agree. Great peg
Done, getting some👍
Wish they had these in the US --- seem hard to find.
Get yourself some short star pickets! Try the ones concretors use for form boards
You’ve sold me.
snow peak ones are awesome
Bought some pegs from BCF made from angle iron. Camped about a hundred km east of Norseman. Needed my 5Lb wacker to get it in. It's still there. Would not come out.
Mick, these are now only $1.59 for the 300mmm x 8mm that's a bargain if they work as you say, Drifta have the forged pegs but start at $9.50, which is still ok as they are hand made in Japan, but will add up if you buy a few.
Big improvement over the typical stock stakes! But I prefer MSR Groundhogs. They work in a variety of soil types. Small down side is they can be a little shorter and they are aluminium. I have not had a problem yet with them being aluminum but the head does get a little beat up with a metal hammer using a plastic "camping" hammer gets torn up by the stake. Not all triangular designs like them are the same either. I used a Coghlans once and it sucked.
DOM Distribution out in Dalby QLD stock them, these pegs are great!!
Gee wiz, now that’s a Tent Peg! Funny how the peg at the beginning of video just bent on its own without being hit...
Drifta sell Snow Peak pegs There is a video of the owner Luke hammering it into road base and it was perfect. Not cheap tho
We have V-shaped ones here in Europe, Very light and very durable too...
I always use broken off hay rake teeth ground to length and a point
Gotta get some
Keep it up buddy , lame or not Supa peg are the go...👍🏽.. l threw all my old crap in the bin ...
Bought some pegs, 2 trips later bent about 6 of them. Still better than the standard pegs. Using a 4 pound hammer though.
mate r u in WESTERN AUSTRALIAN
You’re funny and I like that. It’s why we all go to Y T
Maybe I should give those a go because I have managed to bend every type of peg I have ever bought. Your hammer is a bit light though :)
Found the video
I love 4 x 4 youtubes but you are the best keeep ot up.
You see at the scouts Australia jamboree we used these.but every one that we used the shaft got bent.
Michael Sanders yeah we went to the bend Motorsport park in SA but we had to drill holes into the ground to put pegs in so by the end of the camp we had to bend, snap and even leave some behind.
Michael Sanders probably would have been a lot better
Overall good tent pegs and better than anything else out there but having said that I bent the first one I used on compacted gravel which to be fair is like bedrock.
