A hunk of rail road track works good for a starter anvil. A sledge hammer head set on end in a log also works well.All you really need a hunk of metal that is just slightly larger than the hammer you are using.
The HF anvils are soft and dont stand up to the beating that an anvil with a hardened steel face will take. If thats all you can afford though its better than nothing. There are plenty of people that have started with them im sure.
