I use the anchors that are supposedly self drilling. I find on good hard ice they still can be tough to get started. I have a small hand drill with a 1/4" drill bit to predrill the holes. Much easier and lighter than lugging out a portable drill with the battery. Lou
Bad thing about the string and wood trick is you have to keep hole open or carry a hammer. I know this first had...LOL
I tried the Ultimate Ice Anchor yesterday. Loved it. To see them just google Ultimate Ice Anchor.It truly was self tapping. Went into good hard ice so easily that I screwed it in with one hand in just a few seconds.I've tried the HT and Clam "eye bolt" type anchors. They don't self tap. Starting them with a mallet bent them before they got started. I don't want to carry a cordless drill. The last thing I need is one more item in my fishtrap; adding weight and taking up space. Besides it being one more thing to be prepared, have charged and then remember to take it with.
I use 5/16" x5" lag bolts to hold down my shelter.I bring my cordless drill and before the wind picks up, I predrill with a 1/4" drill bit and set the sled down if it's windy.
Has anyone used these before?Eastman High Perfromance Ice Stakes
