Hi ickledevil,
The line needs to be suspended (i.e. not touching the bottom) so it stays straight down.
I'm also looking for a solution that is as portable as possible so it's no problem to walk/scramble/climb over rocky areas. That's what I liked about the bucket/barrel idea - just carry the (light!) plastic container to the site and fill it up with any heavy stuff is available there like rocks, sand etc. Maybe a heavy duty sack would be a better idea - I could just fold it up and put it in my kit bag when not in use.
Thanks for your pondering... keep 'em coming!
Deano
