ground anchor

That looks like a copy of the portable rescue tree, I have a prt from scorpion and one of the other type as well.
I purchased the PRT as it's the one Land Rover use, if you look on youtube for the Top Gear when Clarkson drove D3 up Scottish mountain, they used it when he got stuck.
It depends on the type of soil which ground anchor is best.

I'm tempted by one of those and I don't even have a winch - I suppose it'd be handy if I ever need to winch with my hilift, and if I ever manage to afford a winch in future...  :lol:

Ground anchors do not seem to work too well here in the chalk clay, they just act like ploughs.

I have the PRT and a paddocks stake type.

For the stakes, you need to carry an nice sledge to get them in and the hi lift jack does a good job of getting them out . The MOD use stake system which is much bigger than the size of the one from paddocks, used to see them for sale at old sodbury. It's a good anchor and it's probably a bit more versatile than spade anchors but slow to deploy but then again there is no rush in non-competition self recovery.
