Just wanting to hear how others mark there fly tie outs so others or yourself dont trip on them in the dark.
I'm not so worried about myself on my tie outs but camping with boy scouts need to have the marked some how and looking for UL way of doing so.

No scout should be without a flashlight. I would get the reflective tarp lines for my scout outings.
In our troop, I've seen kids double a piece of aluminum foil over the lines. That kept me from catching a line in the dark more than once.Originally Posted by cbsinnett
What do you all think about using glow in the dark beads?

We use reflective line to tie out our tarps. It's not fool proof since they need to actually look down but it helps
Good idea, Dutch, but my experience with the glow in the dark line-locs are that they aren't very bright, especially after a few hours of darkness. If you could find some beads or strips that were brighter and lasted longer, I think it might work well at the end of your line near the stake....

"I fish because I love to; because I love the environs where trout are found, which are invariably beautiful... because, in a world where most men seem to spend their lives doing things they hate, my fishing is at once an endless source of delight and an act of small rebellion; because trout do not lie or cheat and cannot be bought or bribed or impressed by power, but respond only to quietude and humility and endless patience...." --Robert Traver
Lawson Glowire cord guy lines if there will be scouts around. And my camp chair. And my self. Still get lines kicked out day and night. Sure wish I could splice the Glowire.
Camp away from others. Especially with scouts. Patrols should be 300' apart, including from adults.

This is what I'd do, just don't go too far in case others need to find you or vice versa
It seems like Scouts can cover 300' in three big bounds.
