When you carry your gear, the pegs are one of the easiest places to save weight. The Boundless Voyage titanium tent pegs are V-shaped pegs that weigh 23 g each, about a fifth of a heavy steel peg. We paid $70 for a set of eight and use them around camp to see whether such a light peg still holds.
What’s in the box
Eight titanium V-pegs (model Ti4011P), each 20 cm long, with a row of holes down the middle to save weight, a notch near the top for the guy rope and a bright orange pull cord. They come in a cream drawstring bag that keeps them together in the pack.
What we like

- V-shape resists bending
- Titanium won’t rust
- Pull cords make removal easy
- Bright cords easy to spot
What we don’t
- $70 for eight pegs
- Not for rock or shale
- Can bend in very hard ground

Build
The V-shape is what makes a thin peg strong: the folded profile resists bending far better than a flat or round peg of the same weight, and it grips more soil, so it holds better in soft ground. The holes cut down the weight without taking away much strength. Titanium doesn’t rust, so you can pull them out of wet ground and pack them away damp. The tips are sharp enough to push in by hand or with your foot in most ground.
At camp
In firm earth and grass they went in without bending or twisting, and the 20 cm length gives a deep enough hold for a small tent, a tarp or an awning guy rope. The notch near the top holds the guy rope without it slipping off. Hard ground is their limit: on very compacted ground they can bend a little, and they’re not made for rock or shale, where a heavy steel peg is the better choice.
The orange pull cord is the detail you’ll be glad of when you pack up. You hook a finger through it and pull the peg straight up, so you don’t have to dig it out by the top. The bright colour also makes the pegs easier to find in the grass.
Weight
At 23 g each, the whole set of eight weighs less than two Coleman steel pegs (120 g each). That’s the reason to buy them: on a hike or a motorbike trip you barely notice them, and you can carry spares. They cost more than steel or aluminium pegs, though, so for car camping they’re a luxury rather than a must.
Steel, titanium or nylon pegs?Titanium or nylon pegs?
Pick by the ground and by how you travel. These titanium pegs suit hikers, motorbike tourers and anyone who carries their gear, in normal ground. For hard, rocky ground the heavy Coleman steel pegs are better, and for the beach the nylon sand pegs cost a fraction as much. Our tent pegs guide has more on choosing.
