Hungarian Tent Stake and Pole Set, Surplus

No evidence of previous use, nice cold war relic and something useful too.

Got my 2nd set of these a couple of weeks ago and everything was pretty much like new. Just a little surface corrosion on one of the poles but an SOS pad, 5 minutes of elbow grease and some wax shined it right up. Like someone else questioned before, I was wondering why all of the pegs and just a single pole. After a little research I found out that these are for use with a shelter system that the Hungarians designed after the Polish army's. Basically a tipi, or teepee, setup. Hence the 18 pegs and single pole. Anyway, these are great for using with a tarp, plash palatka or something similar. Pretty neat setup and are really a great bargain.

For the money, it is well worth it. Few spots of oxidation on one of the sets I got but some baking soda and water took it right off. Other than that I would say neither of my sets have been used. Tons of pegs and the poles actually work really well with my tarps. Strapped both of these to my pack and definitely adds some weight but nothing to be concerned about. Shipping was unbelievably fast! Ordered on a Thursday, order shipped on Monday and was in my hands on Wednesday. Second time ordering from these people and will definitely continue to do so!
