Ground Anchors Kit

Overview
Most of the ground anchors on the market seem to be very bulky and heavy, so we decided to try and make something a bit more compact and lighter. We are also considering the possibility that if (removable) attachment points were fabricated for the sand-ladders they may also work as “dead man snow/sand anchors” or large ground anchor plates.

Items in “grey” are still to do.
Items in “mauve” needs to be fixed, replaced, or upgraded or we need more.
Items in “brown” are under construction or on order.
Items in “green” are almost completed.
Items in “black” completed.
