In my area I have cold temperatures, often below 0F, but not a lot of snow on the ground all the time. There may be a couple inches of snow but not nearly enough to just dig in a snow anchor and it will hold and the frost has set in to the ground so a stake cannot be put in the ground. When it is not windy it is no big deal, I just put my deadman anchor in the couple inches of snow and layer snow on top of it and packing it down. It sets up rock hard in about 5-10 minutes.
My question is when it is super windy what is a good way to set your anchors? The wind pulls on the tarp and pulls them out before they are set. I have been thinking that I should have my lines separate from the tarp and set the anchors before I pull the tarp out of the snakeskins but I don't love that idea because it may mean more fiddling with cold fingers or big gloves.
Thanks for any suggestions.
