The log anchor is often referred to as a ? or slug anchor.

• A. Deadman
• B. Never creep
• C. Posted
• D. Wooden

Answer: (A)

A log anchor is a buried object used as a fixed point to resist pull, and that’s why it’s described as a deadman. The idea is simple: surround a log (or similar heavy object) with soil so it becomes a passive, fixed anchor that holds when a line is loaded. The term deadman captures this “buried mass doing the holding” concept, and some regions also call it a slug anchor, but deadman is the standard name. The other terms don’t describe this common anchor type.
