So after acquiring the necessary anchors (8) and ropes, what do you carry all the anchoring devices in as you go to the ice
Eskimo anchor pouch. It's not listed on their website but they will sell you one if you call them. I called and ordered an extra. For my QF6, that means 12 anchors--6 inside and 6 outside for the times we anchor down all the sides on the outside.
and what else do you carry along for the purpose of anchoring the shelter?
A cheap rechargeable drill with 1/4-inch bit. We predrill holes, many do not. Personal preference.
Also, what strategy do you implement to get the shelter securely anchored?
All inside anchors first. If it's windy then buddies hold outside walls until inside is done. Then upwind walls, starting with each anchor rope almost totally extended, then cinching it up tight with the slider after putting the end loop around the anchor.
