Hi. I stupidly travel with a massive bag of pegs, but I always go for the rock pegs first, since they always go it easier, even in hard ground, and come out easily. I also travel with some thick super long pegs, which seem like overkill, but work best on sandy ground where there is little hold - I used them on a beach site of pure sand last week, where smaller pegs were useless. I now only use 'normal' pegs for additional pegging and windbreaks. Hope this helps.

By the way, my rock pegs have flourescent pink plastic bits, which makes them easy to find in the grass...
Regards, Julie

I like to use V shaped pegs like these:

They are still capable of being bent if the ground is really hard. However, I have suffered less peg loss due to bending with these, when I lost about 10 cheapo L shaped ones just for pegging the groundsheet down recently!

I also have a few screwy ground anchors, 2 for the canopied windbreak, the rest for my tarp as I need to have it up all the time to prevent water from coming in from the bottom of the door when it rains. I have also bought some Delta pegs for the tarp too.

I should invest on some rock pegs in case of hard grounds soon.
