I just realized I've never seen this done before, and was wondering if there's some obvious reason why it wouldn't that I'm not thinking of.
Radio towers use guy wires to hold themselves up, why not photography tripods, in windy conditions? Especially if you want to use a reflector and have no assistant in windy conditions.
If there's no reason why this wouldn't work, it would be cheap (<$10) and should be very secure, at the cost of slightly more setup time (pre-attatch string and tie loops ahead of time, and setup is only an extra 30 seconds).
