I have used these three times so far. Twice to aid in holding up a falling wooden privacy fence where the wooden posts broke and to use to tie a rope to stabilize and straighten a newly planted tree. First off these are "Heavy Duty" and very well made. If you put one of these in the ground, it should not come out unless the ground is just super loose dirt. I used during the summer time with ground that has dry dirt, clay, and some rocks here and there. I used a corded drill, attached the included bit to drive the anchor in, and the anchor dug in almost effortlessly. Pretty impressed. Attach the carabiner and if used for non-permanent applications, I recommend using some type of lubricant before threading. From there, tie off whatever you are anchoring. These anchors have not moved at all for the ones that were used to hold up the fence and remained in place with straight-line wind gusts during a storm that were reported to be up to 60 mph. That storm caused another post to break, requiring an additional anchor. Removing the anchors was not as easy. Reverse rotation with the included bit, did spin the anchor, however, in order for the anchor to bite into the ground, I had to manually pull up on the shaft of the anchor for the drill to rotate it out. I was able to use a drill on one and another took both a drill and a crescent wrench as I continuously had to pull upwards on the shaft. Your mileage may vary, but at least it was reassuring the anchors are seated really well. My fence has since been fully repaired and the anchors used have been cleaned off and placed back in the box. The only sign of wear is the little bit of remaining dirt. These were out in the weather for a couple months. The one that is used to secure the tree is holding strong, is barely visible in my front yard because I can set the shaft to the desired height I need, and it working just fine in the recent freezing temperatures. This is a great product for yard use and if I were to go camping or overlanding, I would bring these with me.

This tent is awesome. We used it for kayaking camping along the Current River this New Years eve weekend. Kept us warm and dry in 24 to 30 degree temps.. Very easy setup and perfect for two people. Put a tarp down under tent, used cots and insulated sleeping pads and our 10 degree mummy sleeping bags. This past weekend, we camped at Alley Spring and the snow flaps worked great deflecting snow to ground and keeping us dry. We couldn't be more pleased, we wish there was a larger version in the 4 season style. I went ahead and ordered a 4 person 3 season tent for the summer months. I highly recommend buying this tent. The tent is just right for two people, wish it was just a little bigger thopugh, with the outer tarp, you do have extra storage outside the tent.
