    In the past I have used reflective twist ties around the guy lines. You can find them in the hunting section at most stores.

    How about glow in the dark paint or glitter? Just spray on existing lines - fixed

    I'll second the Lawson Equipment stuff. Works great!

    I just bought some reflectors that go around bycycle spokes. They are about 4 inches long and make of plastic. I plan on cutting them in half and putting 2 on each tie out, one on the top and the other on the bottom.

    Once I test them I can let you know how they work. Ps. a dozen of them was under $3 on ebay, shipped from china.

    Wonderful suggestion. A pair of those on the ridgeline just at the edge of the tarp and I'll be able to find my way home from the campfire.

    The glow in the dark line-loks work wonderfully in the black of the night for finding my way back from the closest bush but not so good for coming home from the campfire.

    The cheapest I have found is Meijer. It is $3.99 for 50' of orange reflective cord. Kind of have to search for it in the hardware section. The same stuff is $8 at Walmart for 50' and $6 at lowes for 50'.
