I always put a tether out even if there are other people around to launch/land because who knows if they will be there when you get back. Also, not a bad idea to attach something to it asking people not to remove it for SAFETY reasons, I've had mine stolen before and I'm pretty confident it wasn't another kiter that took it.
Always use a steel carabiner with your tether. I witnessed a cheap aluminum carabiner open up like a paper clip being straightened out when someone hooked a fully powered kite up to it. Apparently it had worked fine with depowered kites but couldn't handle a powered up kite.
I pieced together tether/anchor with the following:

I only use the land anchor if I can't find a tree or something else to wrap the tether around.
PS. I actually made 2 tethers out of the rope since it had the clips on the tow rope so I have a spare next time it get's lifted : )
