    That's incredible. Thanks for the pictures. That certainly makes the Echo "storm" more of an issue.

    Or a higher one... tie out to neighbouring trees, leaving the ground trip hazard free.
    (might add a garotte hazard for humans... small price to pay)

    I vote for putting the tarp up in skins,anchor the dog,deploy tarp and turn in for the night.I had to go to orange reflective lines to keep myself out of them in the daytime or dark.

    I pick up pieces of birch bark and hang them on guylines, or make lines of pale sticks on the ground beneath the ones that are most trippable... don't know if that would work for dogs or not. When I tent camped, I had small lengths of narrow white ripstop tied to the guylines so they'd be visible at dusk/dawn -- light enough to not need headlamp (which would reflect off the line), but too dark to actually SEE the cord.

    I do like the idea of piling/leaning sticks againstvthe guy lines to give them a little more body. I'll be trying that next time we head out. The little streamer cordage might work too but I'm thinking Echo needs a more solid 3d object to avoid.
