That is cherry, Clarckie.
And the young fella's, can use it as a moto-cross berm as well.


The whole idea is, you can use damned near anything to strongback a purchase point.
If you can't find one big thing, use several small things in as straight a line as possible, and pull against the biggest of them.

4BEE, the CQR, is a Plow type anchor. Originally developed for the Sunderland Flying Boat. The harder it is pulled on, the deeper it digs itself in. To break it out, simply lever it up, like a pick.
I like the Mushroom anchor, because it is used to hold the Lightships on the Grand and Dogger Banks of the North Sea during gales. If 4 of them can hold a lightship in place, I figure 1 should anchor and pull my Landy up Mt Everest. It works like the CQR, with a bigger holding surface.


If you want a plow disk, go to your local farm machinery dealer, or a clearing sale.
