(1/4) > >>

John Clayton:
What Ground Anchors are out there, and can anyone advise on which are good, bad and ugly?

Here are 2 that I spotted, as a start

I had a PRT (portable rescue tree) for awhile, nice and compact and easily stored.

John Clayton:
I wonder if the Portable Rescue Tree (PRT) is what he had problems with on here:

There are some very reasonably priced Ground Anchors (GAs) on here:

John Clayton:
The Pull Pal's another one that might be worth a look

Saffy:
What do you want a ground anchor for if you don't mind my asking? Competition guys will have specific needs and will have weeded out the trash by now so see that they are using. Overlanders hitting sandy dunes may want a nice big shovel opposed to pegged rails etc. For greenlaning then ground anchors really do not have any business being used and even so their effectiveness can be limited, the pull pals/prt boat anchor style etc are next to useless in Wiltshires chalky/clay for instance and a peg and rail is more suited (as per military on Sailsbury plain), Ground anchors are useless on rocky terrain such as found above the valley line in Wales and so on...   So unless you have specific use it can just be a clumsy, very heavy lump of ornamental iron.
