Snow Peak Solidstake #30 R-103 is a purpose-built tent stake crafted for serious campers who demand dependable anchoring in demanding ground. Weighing in at 180 g and extending to 30 cm, this longer, heavier variant delivers unmatched holding power where standard pegs struggle.
Key design features that set this stake apart:
-
Cylindrical hammer-top for solid drive: The top shape is engineered so your hammer head grips firmly, preventing slips and ensuring every strike funnels directly into the tip for efficient, predictable penetration—even on compact or wind-exposed soil.
-
Integrated rope-hold holes: Pre-drilled points along the stake let you hook and secure guy lines during setup, then release quickly when you pack up, keeping lines tidy and taut without fumbling.
-
Ground-anchored rope guidance: If the top is driven into the ground, the corresponding rope-holding section can also be driven in to prevent rope misalignment and stake rotation, reducing the chance of rope slippage in gusty conditions.
-
Repair-friendly in tough terrain: Even the sturdiest stakes can bend. When that happens, the high-toughness steel of R-103 can be hammered back toward its original shape on hard rock, preserving performance on the next setup.
-
Durable construction: Made from S55C steel with a black electroplated finish for enhanced strength and corrosion resistance in wet or salty environments.
-
Competitive edge in hard or rocky ground: The 30 cm length provides deeper penetration and greater resistance to wind pull, outperforming shorter, lighter stakes in challenging campsites.
This stake is ideal for car campers, mountaineering excursions, and anyone who camps on windy sites or in rocky soils where conventional pegs fail to hold. The thoughtful blend of a secure hammer interface, built-in rope management, and repair-friendly toughness gives you reliable anchors from dawn to dusk and back to breakdown.
Practical guidance for best results:
- Assess ground hardness before driving; use steady, controlled taps to keep the top and tip aligned for maximum straight-line penetration.
- Utilize the rope-hole and buried section together in gusty conditions to minimize movement and maintain taut lines.
- After use, dry the stake and store it in a dry environment to preserve the black coating and overall integrity.
