    Ridge runner ideas

    I would like to see guy outs so that the rr doesn't tip up when you get in.
    Another idea is something like tent poles for the bug netting so that it is free standing.

    Bushwhack camo. I'm not a camo guy, but I'd buy a RR in Bushwhack in a heart beat.

    If you grab both sides of the RR when you get in it will hardly tip at all.

    Get that Bushwhack on your tarp and you can hide that hammock

    Ideas! Yes I grab the sides but after this last surgery it's a lot harder. That's why this is a, idea I would like to see.

    I'm not sure anything short of a solid very strong line like Amsteel would work in this instance as most guy outs are shock cord to hold things like saddle bags out not prevent parts from moving under weight.

    That's IT!: I will invent the gyro-hammock. The integral gyroscope will stabilize the hammock so that not even Hurricane Andrew could budge it.

    Shug will no longer have to worry about cinch buckle failures and a bruised behind. GadgetUK437 won't be falling in any more fires! Hammocking will now be completely safe for women and small children too!

    Opps, i'd better stop thinking out loud before this epic idea is scooped by one of the vendors or Dutch comes out with the "dragonfly 2000".
