How to Make a Winch Ground Anchor?
Author:
When we own a winch it may have never crossed our minds that there may come situations where we will find ourselves stuck without an anchor point in fair sight. Or we may have heard such harrowing accounts from experienced people.
Certainly, there are areas where you may not even have to think about not finding a winch anchor for rescue operations.
But people out in sandy and snowy areas have to consider the fact that they may be left stranded in lonely places without any help in sight.
Custom-made DIY winch ground anchors are one solution to not having a Winch anchor around.
But since this is an article about making a Winch Ground Anchor, we will talk more about what is called the Deadman Anchor.
What is the Deadman Anchor?
The Deadman’s Anchor is simply a heavy log of the wood, metal, spare tire, or a sand parachute that has been buried appropriately deep in the ground and used as an anchor to winch your vehicle out.
Making a ground anchor for winching use primarily depends on the type of ground you are stuck in.
Soft grounds will require digging really deep and straight down, with no slopes. Hard grounds are hard to make a hole in but can work with shallow holes.
Making a Deadman Anchor
The first thing you will need to do is dig yourself a hole.
Easier said than done, consider the time it might take you to do this hard labor. Depending on the type of soil you have to work with, holes may be deeper or shallow.
You need a shovel on hand. An ergonomic shovel with a nonslip handle would be a better choice.
This can be said for softer grounds but when dealing with hard grounds, a pickaxe is a better option. Check this comfortable pickaxe made with a rubberized fiberglass handle.
When digging a hole, you will put your deadman anchor into the hole, but for a moment consider how the cable is going to run through the hole to have linear access to your vehicle.
This implies that you have to dig a trench to let the cable run through in as much a straight line as possible.
