The “Shieldon made Peg”, which is a strange peg sold by DOD, is actually very convenient and an indispensable item for camping. A lantern hanger is also included, making it extremely versatile! We will introduce in detail the charm and features of the spotted garden eel, how to use it, how to arrange it, and recommended related items.
What is a spotted garden eel?
When you hear “peg”, you probably imagine a peg used to support a tent. The name of the peg sold by DOD introduced this time is “Shieldon made Peg”. I will explain in detail what is different from ordinary pegs. It is used by driving it into the ground like a general peg, and it has a hole through which a rope can pass, and it also comes with parts that allow you to stand a pole. It can also be used to support a tent like a normal peg. A lantern hanger is attached to the spotted garden eel, and it can be attached by hooking it on a standing pole! Not only hanging a lantern, but also hanging a garbage bag, hanging a hat and a hanger, the versatility is endless.
The charm of the spotted garden eel
Introducing three charms of the spotted garden eel! Let’s master the spotted garden eel peg that can be used infinitely depending on the idea.
Simple construction makes it difficult for your feet to get caught
Most pegs are stabbed diagonally to support the ropes in the tent. If you stick it diagonally to the ground, it’s easy to overlook it, and your feet may get caught when you pass by the tent. The spotted garden eel pierces vertically into the ground and comes with a pole support, so you can stand on your own with just one! You don’t have to worry about getting your feet caught even if you pass nearby. It’s easy to get messy when you put a lantern stand next to a table and put a chair on it, but if you use a spotted garden eel, your feet will be refreshed. It will be a convenient item for families with small children.
Easy to set up and remove
The spotted garden eel is made of steel and is very sturdy. It’s okay to hit it hard with a hammer when hitting the ground, and you’ll be able to hit it firmly. Also, the part where the hammer hits is a little wider, so it is easy to hit. If you hit it all the way down, wouldn’t it be a problem when you pull it out? I think there are many people who feel that. The spotted garden eel also has a hole for pulling out, so you can easily pull it out by inserting a rope or pole.
Can be used for other than lantern stands
The spotted garden eel comes with a lantern hanger. This cannot be used alone, but it is used by attaching it to a tarp pole standing on a spotted garden eel peg. If you have a lantern that can be hooked on any part of the pole and you want to illuminate the surroundings, put it in a high position. It can be installed in a low position if it is within reach such as a garbage bag. The weight supported by the lantern hanger is less than 1 kg, so be careful when hanging fuel-based lanterns.
How to make your own spotted garden eel and similar products
The spotted garden eel is actually made of a simple structure. Those who are good at a little processing will be able to make it. Introducing how to make and arrange a spotted garden eel.
Attach a joint to the pole
Being able to stand on its own with just one pole is a very convenient item in the camping scene. Buying a spotted garden eel is the easiest and fastest way, but you may want to make it with your own tools. If you support the pole so that it can be erected on a metal stake that can be used by piercing the ground, a peg that can stand on its own is completed. You can make it if you have screw-type fixing brackets at home improvement stores. Please try it.
Install the rope stopper
The spotted garden eel has a hole used for pulling it out, and you can play the same role as a general peg by passing a rope through it. By using two spotted garden eels, standing a pole and connecting the tips with a rope, it can also be used as a hanger hook to hang clothes. You can see that the compatibility between the spotted garden eel and the rope is also very good. It can also be used as a support when setting up a tarp.
The pole can be replaced with a tarp pole
The pole set on the spotted garden eel peg can be used even if it is not a special product. If you use “Shieldon made Peg 2”, you can use poles with an outer diameter of 15 to 28 mm, and you can also use tarp poles! You can use the tarp poles you always use in your tent, or buy a new pole for your spotted garden eel. Tarp poles are sold by a variety of EDC brands, so you can get them right away. It would be fun to have your favorite EDC brand.
