Abstract
A tie down anchor that is particularly useful when tying down objects to the ground and may take the place of ordinary tent stakes due to the tie down anchor's superior holding ability when compared to traditional tent stakes. The tie down anchor has a guide having an angled hole. A main stake extends downwardly from the guide and the main stake includes an aperture. A locking spike is adapted for being received in the angled hole. The aperture in the main stake is positioned to receive the locking stake when the locking stake passes through the angled hole. The stake of this invention is small, light, and of a comparable size to traditional tent stakes.
