Plamp Stake can also be pushed into the ground with Extension Tube (part# PP-320) attached. 
About the Ground Spike 
The Ground Spike is a specially designed screwdriver opti-
mized for use as a ground stake. In our extensive search for 
the best stake we found a modified screwdriver to be the 
optimal solution for this application. 
The spike is easily inserted in a variety of ground types and 
remains securely positioned and is easily removed. 
The shank is made of very corrosion resistant chrome plated 
steel. The handle is made of cellulose acetate which is the 
standard for durability and long-life. 
*The Ground Spike meets 2017 TSA guidelines for 
carry-on items 
How to Use Your Ground Spike  
Storing The device 
Wipe dirt and debris from the Ground Spike. Remove the spike from the 
extension. Insert the spike into the extension as shown below until it is securely 
seated. The Ground Spike is now ready to be stored in your gear bag. 
Adjusting the Ground Spike fit 
Inside the Extension Tube 
Time and various conditions may affect the 
fit between the Ground Spike and Extension 
Tube. Therefore the spike has been 
designed with an adjustment screw so 
that a snug but not excessively tight 
fit can be achieved. This adjustment 
can be made with a standard 
slotted head screwdriver.  
If you have multiple Ground  
Spikes you can use the  
tip of another spike to 
adjust the screw. 
*Meeting TSA Guidelines does  
Not guarantee the ability to place 
the Ground Spike in your carry-on in 
The US or abroad, however the total length 
of the ground spike is considered acceptable by TSA guideline 
concerning tools (in particular screwdrivers). Due to the fact 
that TSA issues guidelines and not rules we advise that the 
ground spike be placed in a checked bag to avoid possible confiscation.
