Abstract
The present invention relates to a safety tether anchor. The safety tether anchor includes a base for mounting to a tree or other support. The base is securely connected to the support. The safety tether anchor includes a pig tail for attaching a safety harness tether to a support arm of the safety tether anchor. The pig tail can be slidably connected to the support arm so the pig tail can move inwardly or outwardly relative to the vertical support. A pivot arm can also be connected to the support arm, and the pivot arm can be used to hold a wide variety of items.
