Abstract: A quick and easy way of combining items needed for connecting and securing tents and tarps to a stake in the ground is provided. The stake has an elongated metal shaft with the bottom of the shaft tapered into a triangular shape for easily entering the ground. First and second sets of slots may be located on front and back surfaces of the shaft, respectively. Flexible pins may be inserted into a slot on the front surface of the shaft and extend out a corresponding slot on the back surface of the shaft. A user then bends the portion of the flexible pin extending out the back surface for added gripping strength of the stake when inserted into the ground. The stakes may include a wire or cable connected to a fastener which is used to secure the tent, tarp or tarp like item to the stake.
