There don't appear to be any logs or the like to bury in the photos. Are you suggesting carrying a built ground anchor? I'd be interested in hearing about relatively lightweight designs for ground anchors.
A deadman anchor can be a lot of things, like the crowbar laying on the ground in Mark's photo. Depending upon how soft the soil it, you might need to dig a fairly deep trench to place it in. Then girth-hitch some heavy webbing or tow strap around the middle. You'll need a second trench that Tee's into the one the anchor is buried in to bring the strap up to daylight at a shallow pitch.
If this sounds confusing, go read a book on crevasse rescue
In snow, there's often two deadmen that are 'equalized' to share the load.
