Neat idea, but I wonder if it might be even more stable if the pan was flipped the other way so that on uneven ground it might get even better stability? As showns, I think even a small rock in the grass or soil, would act as a fulcrum for 'tipsiness"?
This is the same thought that was going through my mind as I read this thread, but please don't let this small critique take away from my overall admiration of the project. My thanks to Imagemeister for sharing his vision and ingenuity with us.

Nice job!
The only thing I can think of that would make it better is two strips of bacon and an egg in the pan, in case you get hungry while crawling around.

Good observation and idea ! Certainly doable. Not too rocky here in Florida though ......the nice advantage to this is -it does not sink down in soft ground - like mud - or the very edge of a pond or lake like when doing ducks on water ect.

Here in Florida, we have Fireants - and this is a very good reason to NOT be laying on the ground under any circumstance ! If you get into some Fireants, I guaranty you will be getting up - QUICKLY.
