I've seen two basic gizmos for tying down a plane in the bush: something
that looks like a corkscrew, and something that looks like and auger. Which
one is best, and why?

The corkscrew is a joke. In the mountains where I fly you'll never get
that stupid thing more than 2 inches into the ground. The best I've
used is one called the Claw. You can find it at Aircraft Spruce, last I
saw it was $99.
