The SandTrap, invented by Steve Woodford of Springdale Utah, is an interesting device for creating a retrievable anchor any time you have sand available.

Fill it with sand, then rap off it. Pull the retrieval line to spill the sand and retrieve the Trap, leaving nothing behind other than displaced sand. Ingenious! The only problem that I see with it is that I didn't invent it!!!

Select 10mm for 3/8" bolts, or 12mm for 1/2" bolts. Nicely finished.

1.7 ounces (48 grams) each.

No Longer available. Try HowNOT2.com

All you need for the Devil's work (except a wrench), bolts and hangers. Our kit no longer includes bolts and hangers due to changes in availability. (NOT as shown)

Seriously? Uh, very few people need this, and even then… please watch this video first, which you will need to copy/paste to get:

The FiddleStick is an advanced canyoneering anchor tool. It is a new approach to retrievable anchoring, opening up a wider range of possible anchors, and making it possible to descend more canyons and leave nothing behind (aka “ghosting”). As an ADVANCED anchor tool, it requires skill, practice and understanding to use safely. Even when used properly, it has the possibility of failing, resulting in severe injury or death, or being stranded in a canyon with your ropes hopelessly stuck.

I was selling both my FiddleStick and BluuGnome’s Smooth Operator, but now the Smoothie can only be ordered directly from Luke at BG-Gear.com

Both are generally used with an Amsteel pull string that pairs (threesomes?) with the SECO-050 rope bag.
