SCREW-IN GROUND ANCHORS
The screw-in ground anchor, invented in the Australian outback. Set up faster, hold ground harder.
GroundGrabba came out of an Australian camping problem: David Levine spent fifteen minutes per stake yanking 3-foot rebar out of the desert at Burning Man. So he and his partner Susan Sparkes-Young built the alternative — a screw-in ground anchor you drive in with a cordless drill. Founded on the east coast of Australia and now shipping worldwide, GroundGrabba anchors hold tents, canopies, and shelters down in sand, soft ground, and conditions where standard stakes give up.
- Founded by David Levine and Susan Sparkes-Young
- Origin story — Australian outback and Burning Man
- Screw-in ground anchors driven with a cordless drill
- Built for sand, soft ground, and high-wind conditions
- Anchors tents, canopies, and shelters faster than traditional stakes
Answers, straight up.
Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.
Which GroundGrabba do I need for my ground?
Match the anchor to the substrate, not to the price. The Lite is glass-reinforced nylon for sand, dunes and beach. The Junior at 11 inches handles medium to harder ground. The Pro at 12 inches covers average to hard ground. The Pro I at 18 inches and Pro II at 24 inches are for soft, loose and sandy substrates where a short stake has nothing to bite. Longer is not stronger — it is for looser ground.
Do I need a drill?
A cordless drill and the matching hex driver is the fast way in and out — 5/8 inch for the Pro, Pro I and Pro II, 3/4 inch for the Junior. You can turn them by hand with a socket wrench in a pinch, but the whole design assumes a drill. In genuinely hard or rocky ground you will also want the masonry bit to pre-drill a pilot hole.
How much better are these than hammer-in stakes?
GroundGrabba rates the screw-in design at up to three times the holding power of a conventional hammer-in stake. The thread grips along its full length rather than relying on friction against a smooth shaft, which is why they hold in sand and loose soil where a standard stake pulls straight out under wind load.
How long does shipping take?
Most in-stock orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, not counting weekends and federal holidays. Special-order, dealer-direct, custom, and LYNX Survival Systems orders can take longer. Lead times shown on product pages are estimates, not guarantees.
Typical carrier transit after that: Economy 5 to 7 business days, Expedited 2 to 3, Overnight 1. These are carrier estimates, not guarantees. Some items, such as lithium batteries, aerosols, and safety matches, may be limited to ground shipping.
Free Economy shipping on qualifying orders over $150 to the contiguous US, on eligible products. Oversized, heavy, freight, hazardous-material, dealer-direct, custom-built, and special-order items may be excluded. Oversized and freight items, such as rooftop tents, recovery equipment, and Pro Eagle products, may carry extra shipping charges. If extra charges apply, we'll let you know before the order ships.
Some items ship directly from the manufacturer or a supplier partner on their own schedule, so an order can arrive in more than one package with more than one tracking number. Full details: Shipping Policy.
What’s your return policy?
You have 30 days from receiving your order to request a return on eligible items. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com with your order number, the item, and the reason, and wait for return authorization before you ship anything back. Returns sent without authorization may be refused.
Items must come back in like-new condition: unused, unmodified, unworn, unwashed, and free of odors, dirt, stains, pet hair, and damage, with all original packaging, manuals, accessories, and tags, plus proof of purchase.

If we provide a prepaid label, its cost may be deducted from your refund. For oversized, freight, dealer-direct, and special-order items, you pay return shipping unless the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect. Original shipping charges aren't refunded. Some items may carry a restocking fee of up to 15%, and we'll tell you during authorization.
Some items are fulfilled by third-party suppliers and follow that supplier's return policy, so eligibility, refund timing, return shipping, and restocking fees may differ.
Approved refunds go to your original payment method. Allow up to 10 business days after approval, and your bank may take longer to post it. Full details: Return & Refund Policy.

Do you ship outside the contiguous US?
Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and other U.S. territories aren't eligible for free shipping, and extra freight charges may apply.

My package arrived damaged. What now?
Inspect your order when it arrives. If anything is damaged, defective, or wrong, email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery (5 days for food and drink) with your order number, a short description, and photos of the item and the packaging.
You don't pay return shipping on items that arrived damaged or wrong, or with a verified defect. Some items fulfilled by third-party suppliers follow that supplier's policy instead. Reporting after 7 days may limit our ability to pursue a claim with the carrier, and while we may help with a carrier claim, approval is up to the carrier.
Package lost or never arrived? Contact us within 7 days of the expected delivery date. For freight deliveries, inspect the shipment before you sign and note any visible damage on the carrier's delivery receipt.
Can I talk to a human before buying?
Yes. Call (562) 294-6269, Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Pacific time, or email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com. We reply within one business day.
We'd rather talk you out of a kit that doesn't fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.
Do you offer a military/first-responder discount?
Yes. Current and former U.S. military, military spouses and dependents, and first responders, including law enforcement, fire, and EMS, can save up to 10% on most of our products through GovX ID.
