I found this while drinking a Sunday morning coffee

Feeling friendly with your hammocking buddies?

A hammock 'tent' for 5, 8 or 12 occupants!

Then, (as you do) started to click on other things and found these little oddities

A new shovel that digs holes, saws woods, opens bottles and slays zombies!

Looks like something Bear Grylls might recommend
All they need now is a pocket version for backpacking

I actually think these look pretty handy - my son has a skill that enables him to sniff out a guyline anywhere, and manage to trip over it, or stub his toe on a stake

Does anyone know where to source these?
These hanging LED lights may work as a substitite

Gorillatorch - the blurb says you can even wrap it around your head!

Now for the sublime
I would hope no self respecting Aussie would stoop so low
Wait for it.......POWDERED BEER!

Reflective guyline is a bit lighter, and multi-use

Otherwise, Kathmandu sell the latter version.

I think I looked at those - they have them at point of sale for impulse buys. A far as i could see, they only light up when the button is pressed
MSR make something similar - a magnetic tent light that you can move around, or you can hang from a fixed point - red or white light with 3 light functions - high, low amd strobe. About $18 a pop, so too expensive for putting on guy lines

The alternative ones I linked were $3.75 each, so a better price,

but I liked the look of the 'in-line' first ones
http://www.gizmag.com/tent-led-prevents ... hap/11378/, I just can't source the suckers!

There are also these

I wonder if Evan could make me one of those Hammocks.

Only joking Evan.

Zazz has illuminated tent pegs come up every couple of months...
