    Why do some hammocks have guy lines and how/when are they used.
    I'm not completely stupid, just "Nucking Futz"

    I've used them to open up the hammock a bit. It helps keep the netting off your face and whatnot.

    In the case of the WBBB it keeps the shelf up and prevents its contents from bumping into you.
