It's A Tent Peg Jim, But Not As We Know It...

It's a peg revolution! Or is it?

Designer Dave Birss has come up with a radical new design of tent peg, the 'Nomallet'. It doesn't take a genius to work out that the main idea is that you don't need a mallet to place it firmly in the ground, but it also has secondary advantages in that it lies flat - so no tripping over them - and, for packing, they can be stacked neatly together.

At present the design is at prototype stage and aimed mainly at the general end of the camping market, but Dave is canvassing opinion on its suitability for use as a more specialist outdoor tent peg.

While the standard 'Nomallet' would be made from some form of steel, a super, lightweight version might be manufactured from titanium. Take a look at Dave's web site for a more detailed look at what he's up to then come back and tell us what you think on the forum thread linked to below.
