I've seen two basic gizmos for tying down a plane in the bush: something
that looks like a corkscrew, and something that looks like and auger.
Which one is best, and why?
thanks

Neither!
Get Fly-ties or The Claw!
Or, there are plans available on the EAA website to make your own.


Got a URL? I looked and couldn't find anything at EAA.org.

It was on the AirVenture site, under Aircraft Camping or Flying Into
earlier this year or last.

Looks like: http://www.theclaw.com/products/claw.php
Maybe very secure but not too easy to remove!

VERY easy to remove, just like a smooth tent stake. It's removed with the
claw of the hammer, the trick is to pull straight along the line of each
"nail" huge holding power since each "nail" has a different "line", but
easy to remove.
