You might already opt for the technique of forcing tent pegs into the soil with the sole of your shoe, but the process would be made much easier with the 45° Pin-Down. This efficient and ergonomic system would be appreciated especially by those who rely on the power of their arm and a hammer; the setup of a camping refuge is not an easy task for everyone.
Jeong Eunji and Jeon Youngwon came up with the idea for a compact rectangular case that would hold its own set of pegs. When it's time to pin down the corners of your shelter, insert a spike between the fixing slot and the pin slot, and simply step down on the 45-Degree Pin-Down as if it's a pedal.
