I see pretty much everyone is using shock chord for guys and a ridgeline. What are the thoughts on rigid rigging, like parachord/550? Or 1/16-1/8" kernmantle? Maybe I am not up on things but wouldn't the stretchy shock chord, especially used as a guy line on the hammock, let things sway in the breeze? I suppose if things shift over night the shock chord still maintains some tension, as opposed to a rigid line... It still isn't quite "anchoring" though.
