I don't know how many are left
I'd buy a pair of each but I'm short of the actual readies at the moment

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

$29 each????
For something you could knock up yourself for a few $ (for 4 off) with sheet Al from Bunnings and some heavy fishing line.
Cheers
Roger

Neoprene isn't exactly that cheap Roger nor is stainless steel wire or the swage
Admittedly I use plywood and cheap fencing wire or nylon mouse parachutes for tents but personally I think it's a fair price while on sale. I wouldn't use my homers for climbing but I'd use the MSRs

200g though. Ouch.
Fabric anchors at 10g are my choice.

For tents yes.
Mouse parachutes rock
These are climbing anchors and much lighter than my old Cloggies, some of us here are climbers

You don’t use plywood and fencing wire for climbing though do you?
The way your second post sounded implied you would use these for tents.

Yes Sort of agreeing with Roger on cost etc for tent guys because I guess Roger has never climbed and would not have seen the value
Some of my deadmen for tent stakes are just plywood panels and disposable after a hard winter,
