ice anchors

[last5oh_302]

Last5oh:  Those anchors look good.  Any idea of the mfg?

Madcap; those are the anchors that came with my Eskimo Quickfish 3. Ardisam sells them. The picture on their site looks like different anchors, but last season I had a defective one (it was brand new) so Ardisam kindly sent me 2 replacements, and they were the same as the anchors in the picture I posted.

Here's their site, but it says that they're already sold out of them for the season!

madcap...i like the rope tensioning idea! i've never had a problem with just the one anchor and my sled moving around...it did cross my mind when intially incorporating this anchor tho.  it has been proven (one foolish day out) to take about 50mph gusts...needless to say i didnt stand it for very long tho. I think this is a must for any shelter owner, seen to many shelters destroyed plus tackle when their sled takes off across the ice for miles!

Scheels in Appleton Wi  have the Eskimo anchors for $9.99 a pair they are the same as the ones that last5oh_302 pic. shows..... I have the QF III and I grabed a set for back up..... I'm sure that any Scheels would have them or get them for you... they have allways helped me out in all the things I asked for

The new Strikemaster ice locks look pretty sweet and they double as ice picks.

agreed.  They've been around a little while, I don't think many people use them though...but i love 'em.  They are so freakin' easy its not funny. Drill half a hole, stick the things in there, expand'em and tie the shanty down.  Even holds down my Yukon on those howling 50mph+ gusty days.

I didn't get to the show to see these but they look the same as the ice climbing anchors for a bit cheaper price:
