Abstract: A portable anchorage and fastener device for securing movable articles or structures to a land mass comprising a lightweight yet rigid plate having an entry face, a ground face, a fastener end and a plurality of picket holes, each of said holes being surrounded by a guide ring affixed to the entry face of the plate at an angle for directing tubular hollow pickets inserted therewithin angularly into the ground. The invention is further comprised of a safety breakage cord removably attached to the fastener end of the plate for securing the guyline in the event of breakage of the guyline at a looped end thereof, and a fastener hook also removably attached to the fastener end of the plate for guyline attachment thereto.

Abstract: A dual tarpaulin unloading system which rests in the bed of a vehicle. The second end of the first tarpaulin is attached to the bed of the vehicle by a single mechanical arrangement which allows the unloading system to detach after the unloading cycle is complete. The payload to be transported and unloaded rests on the upper surface of the second tarpaulin. At the dumping site, the vehicle door bed is opened and the first end of the first tarpaulin and the first end of the second tarpaulin are attached to a drawing strap. The opposite end of the drawing strap is attached to established anchorage. The vehicle then moves in a direction away from the established anchorage. The weight of the payload on the first and second tarpaulin coupled with the movement of the vehicle forces the payload off the vehicle bed and onto the ground.
