Just been flipping through some earlier posts, with these 'anchors' how do you get them out the ground i.e. mud, do you just pull them out by hand or what?

They have a ring on the back, you can shackle a rope or your TTP and pull it out with your vehicle or winch.
Having said that I would not use one again, not only did it fail but bent up the side wings and this was in sand. In firmer ground ie edge of a long bog it was very difficult to get it to dig in as the handle supplied would bend when downward presure applied to it. It ended up breaking off.
You are far better to carry 3 or 4 star pickets, they dont have to be full length 2/3 will be enough, banged in at an angle and tied top to bottom wrap a drag chain around the bottem of all of them and hook up to that.
