Hi Tom,

Thanks for the link, but I can't seem to find a simple strap with a metal
cam lock buckle on that page. I don't want any hooks or ratchets. Maybe
I'm not looking in the right part of the site.

I decided to use flyties (http://www.flyties.com/).

I've been using a similar product for over 20 years. Got it from
Australia.

The stakes are nylon and have held up amazingly well, sometimes
twisting a bit to get into rocky soil, but so far, never broke one. I
would guess I've used it 10 - 15 times, mostly for overnight tiedown
in benign conditions, but a few times I've had to secure the glider in
gusty conditions while waiting for my crew.

As for straps, I clicked on an ad for "CAM Buckle Straps":

that showed up in my Google sidebar. Pretty nice bulk pricing at less
than $10 per strap & buckle.
