Abstract: A ground anchoring system and its method of attachment to the ground. The ground anchor device has a base frame with bottom surfaces that terminate in a common plane. A plurality of elongated slots are defined through the base frame. Anchor spikes are provided for extending through the elongated slots of the base frame. Each of the anchor spikes has a flat face surface, a flat rear surface and a predetermined thickness between the face surface and the rear surface that is at least half as wide as the face surface. A tether mount is connected to the base frame. Any tension applied to the tether mount is transferred to the base frame and the anchor spikes extending through the base frame, wherein the tension force acts at a perpendicular to the flat face surface of the anchor spikes.
