Rescue Pickets, Picket Anchor Systems

Did you know that Hogan Tent Stakes supplies many search and rescue crews with tent stakes that are used as rescue pickets? A picket is any post, stake, or peg that is used in a fence or barrier, to fasten down a tent or other temporary structure, to anchor rescue equipment, or even be used directly to anchor or stabilize objects during rescue operations.

In addition to using tent stakes to make a picket anchor system, our tent stakes have been used to anchor TeleCrib^® struts and the Shark™ Collapsible Step Chock from Rescue42.
