How one anchors is determined so much by your location. Ted is on the East coast, anchors in shallow water.
Eric is on the west coast, in deep water, so what is required is very different.

If I have anchored in the last few years where there was room for a 7:1 scope, I can't recall it.

If I used Eric's technique, or a 7:1 scope as Ted advises, I could use a rock on the end of my chain and I am sure it would hold.
