Overview<\/strong>
\nMost 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<\/span><\/a> they may also work as \u201cdead man snow\/sand anchors\u201d or large ground anchor plates.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nItems in \u201cmauve<\/span>\u201d needs to be fixed, replaced, or upgraded or we need more.<\/strong>
