As for the hole in the shovel for the attachment , unless reinforced both sides it's an accident waiting to happen .

Here they claim that screw type land anchor isn't doing well comparing to pulpal or one of it's clones.

We had no problem anchoring a Pajero with one when we went out on a Paj forum testing day. In fact we bent the handle by being lazy and winching it out of the ground instead of unscrewing it. I'd recommend it for solo desert travel.

It's about half the length and weight of the pul-pal? It does take some effort to get in the ground but if you had nothing else to hook up to it will work, and either one of them would be easier than burying a spare!

Yeah.
I'm making my own pul-pal type of anchor.
It's not that hard to make a one.
Solo desert trekking is a risky business, so you need to prepare for all kinda hazards & breakdowns.

Yeah, I realize it now.
That guy engineered it pretty badly.

Not a whole lot for the "want" part!
But, the "need", that's a tricky department to step into.

Do I need a sat phone? yes
Do I need two spare wheels? yes.
Do I need a spare starter motor, alternator, battery, ignition coil, carby, etc etc? yes.
Do I......
