Fortress anchor mods

I like Fortress anchors. Like many others, I like to stow mine 'disassembled' - and sought to make 'em quick to assemble and deploy, without hunting for tools..... so I replaced the conventional nuts 'n bolts with ring bolts and ring nuts. These can be done up using only fingers. Takes about 1 minute. Plastic cable ties lock them.


I also made up storage bags from a piece of polyprop carpeting. Yes, I know Fortress market smart, expensive ones. Mine are cheap as chips.
