The 8g titanium nail is a great combination of strength and pack-size, making it a great choice when packing light. The minimalistic design ensures a highly functional peg, that works well in both soft and hard soil. The nail shape is, however, especially well-suited for areas where there are limited possibilities for traditional pegging, such as rocky or stony areas or areas with extremely hard soils. The very sturdy material and construction allows you to hammer the nail into place, and the guy rope makes it easy to drag the peg back up.
