If the vehicle were that close, why not just drive onto the cord? Even I was thinking about anchoring to my roof rack prior.

Driving onto webbing would give me peace of mind though.

I've done that. Actually, just ran the line around the wheel. In the morning the line had walked its way partly under the tire. I'll just tie to the wheel from now on, mine has holes that work great.

I have nice factory wheels, so I wouldn't want to ruin it. I will tie to an axle, then run the line under the tire though. That ought to be easier than my earlier suggestion of driving on the cord.

Probably goes without saying... but for some of these suggestions, if you're not solo on these trips I would make absolutely sure to keep the car keys on my person or in the hammock at all times! Would not want to be dragged down the road by someone driving off in my anchor!

LOL. I'm even worried about my driving off with the anchor myself by accident. That is why I tried under the wheel first.

Just replace the stand baseline with an axle and wheels and it’s a DOT-legit hammock trailer.

Not really. Do not attempt.

I can actually visualize one set up on a trailer for quick deployment like the roof top tents. When tacoed and laying on the ground I can visualize a bag that could contain the tacoed stand and an attached tarp and hammock. Have storage underneath a platform above to store the bag and anchor the stand. Unzip the bag, pull up and tether the head end, and design the tarp to guy out to the trailer or wrap around the stand itself.

Hangout/kitchen space underneath and a trap door up into a quick deploy, fully enclosed hammock loft anyone? Hey, why not?

Hm. Quick fold out... Pop up trailer... POP UP BOOK! Our nth-year anniversary edition manual needs to be a pop-up book where a tiny model tensahedron erects itself, baseline on the spine, complete with nylon micro hammock, thread for lines, maybe even a fly, or that comes on the next page.

Haha! Perfect!
