Super tuff bivvy pegs?

[elmoputney]

I am struggling with the usual heavy duty ones that bend when you try and put them in hard ground, has anyone got any good suggestions or a solution that don't cost £15 each peg please ?

Has anyone tried these type with a bolt type end? Obvs power drills are as bad as a mallet but was thinking might be able use a small rachet with the correct size socket.

I'm one of those who uses standard strong bivvy pegs. I've looked at mine and they are the screw in pegs provided by Rod Hutchinson with the brolly system, or some screw in pegs I bought for another bivvy.

I did also have a quick look at Johnson Ross (https://johnsonrosstackle.co.uk/1477-bivvy-pegs) and Tackle Box and to be honest in terms of tent/bivvy pegs carp tax is actually low. 

I've not found ground I can't get that type of peg in, and I have always screwed them in rather than used a mallet, and at Nazeing I did take one just in case for the sailing bank which was hardcore, but was always able to screw them in.

If I have any complaint it is that in soft ground in windy weather pegs pull loose.

I have got one bent RH bivvy peg, but that is actually down to Sky catching her lead around it as she went for something. It was deep in hard ground, and she pulled and bent it out. Saying that, she has also bent thick banksticks, storm poles and storm sticks, and blooming dog spikes.

You would have thought a peg should be able to do its job without thinking about it 

kind of like that picture they could use a set of wings or prongs like a fork on the top part of it that you can stand on at the end to give it a final push home once wound in as an added bit of security.

 

there ya go kev a proper bit of development that will keep the company afloat a while longer

The JAG ones are only 12.49 EACH, what's wrong with you?!?! 😂

I'd only need 10, that's less than one storm pole 🤣 If I end up buying these now it's your fault Elmo!

I've just ordered their distance sticks, always struggle to push mine into the hard ground.

You mean kind of like the magic twig where you push it in the ground and then the prongs come out and it gets stuck in weed 🤣

Facebook always knows. I haven't looked at tent pegs on there and this ad came up.

So annoying, was on the phone to my mum whilst walking the dog, talking about her broken garage door.  When I got home every advert on social media, news pages and youtube on the telly was garage doors.  Stop listening to me - unreal!

Are you happy with Ai listening in? I get so many adverts after checking links on here and not all are the good type...

I have flicked the search on fleabay:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=bivvy+pegs&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313

I don't mind ebay adverts, I use it anyway.

I had a good look through settings and couldn't find anything to turn it off on my Samsung phone and tablet. 

Ai notes on Facebook posts have gotten ridiculous as well; asking what my dogs temperament is, how do you look after Sky, really bugs me.
