Tell us more about those anchor pins...
Not much to say about the pins, army surplus large tent pegs brought on e-bay

The soft shackle also came from EBay

The ground anchor plate is aluminium flat bar 80mm x 15mm with 32mm holes
I have put more holes than pegs encase there is an obstacle in the way when driving the pegs in (I could also put more pegs in if necessary)
I still need to chamfer of the edges of the holes as they are a bit sharp.
I was hoping to get to test them at Syncropendence but that wasn’t to be.
They can be used singly or in pairs.
The one's we have in our cave rescue kit are fitted with a hard-shackle they are also steel and very heavy.




Normally the pegs would be driven in further, but then I would have had to get them out.
Comments and thoughts welcome
