They also tend to go in circles...you following it following you

Pack?

Oh wait---there's a PACK in that pic.

Speaking strictly about the pack. I don't like that design the wheel needs to be on a pivot for tighter turn radius. I wanna think it can be lighter too.

An integrated micro-heat/cool system into the hammock, much like an electric blanket with a solar powered, rechargeable power supply that was tied into the tarp.

I dunno.

That turn radius looks mighty tight to me-----

I applied for (and didn't get) a job at a golf place with buggies like that. http://www.mgi-golf.com/all-models.aspx Apparently it's quite a complicated thing.

And a ridge line with an LED light source hooked to the same system

Retractable suspension, basically like amsteel on a tape-measure spring with a locking mechanism. Less tangling in the bishop bag. Perhaps it could go a step further and auto-hang at the correct angle
Self-deploying tarp. You can set up your tarp "open", so you have a view of the sky, and simply hit a button and it closes and self-tensions the guy lines. Think a retractable dome roof on a stadium.
I would like Cuyahoga Valley National Park to open up to LNT hanging. I'll gladly go without a fire.
