Take a look at the system we use for portable operation with mil-surplus 
mast sections. It's about halfway into this link, which are slides for a 
talk W6GJB did at Pacificon several years ago. He found the tripod 
adapter fitting at Dayton about ten years ago. I suspect they're 
available online.

A dozen or so slides farther into it, Glen shows guy anchors that can be 
driven almost anywhere. They're used to tie down small aircraft.
