X – Eng Long Bow Ground Anchor MK3

8kg weight - 14kg lighter than some on the market! Double point 'root cutter' blade. High strength Swedish 'Domex' Steel blade. JS500 Passivate coated for high corrosion resistance. Round section tube is comfortable to carry. The latest improvements to this anchor are the double fold in to the blade giving it a 'W' section. This has a two-fold advantage. Firstly it significantly increases the stiffness of the blade, important in rocky ground, and particularly the double 'root-cutter' points. The blade being folded up or down gives a minor advantage in different soil conditions. The 'W' profile gives the best of both, maximising the chances of getting a secure anchor in all soil types. The eye has been increased to allow more chunky cable hooks to attach directly without the need for a shackle and lastly reinforced the spade gusset to cope better with sandy conditions. (In sand, the anchor buries deep, which changes the blade angle and significantly increases the force on the gusset)
