Homemade Anchors: Cut 1” angle iron 4” to 6” longer than the hole your auger is creating (12” works good up to 10” holes). Drill 1-hole in center and 1-hole at 1-end. Connect a 12’ piece of rope on center hole for connecting to shanty. Connect 6’ rope on end hole for installing and removing from hole.

Anchoring shanty: Drill hole in ice and use rope on end of angle iron anchor to drop in hole then pull up center rope to create anchor then attach to shanty. Good practice is to connected one to shanty then install in hole up wind before setting up. Install addition anchors depending on wind speed and direction. Problem solved! I have Otter Magnum and Clam base camp and work great in 10 to 20 MPH wind
