Lawson 2mm reflective glowire running through Line Loc 3's on each tie out. These are tensioned out to Big Sky stakes that weigh .20 oz a piece. I really like the Line Loc 3's because they are even easy to use with gloves on.

I've used braided mason line for a while now without any tensioners and am thoroughly pleased with how well it works. I've got the same stake loop with a prussik that others have mentioned. Very light, compact, and no fasteners poking my tarp when packed.

Dutch Fleaz on a bungee collar. I have 2 line set ups. Lawson Glowire for when I'm looking to be seen. Zing it when I'm not looking to attract any attention. I use titanium v and aluminum y stakes with about ft of line.

Last night I watched a video about a guy that had just purchased the HG Standard CF with Doors. (I want the Winter Palace myself and thought I had the guy lines all figured with Dutch Bling). The video was from three months ago; but was also based on an older you tube video. The difference was the door hardware that used typical shock cord but then attached to a Safety Side Release Buckle produced by Survival-Pax. They are 15 cents a piece and requires 4 ea. Talk about pretty cheap. I paid more for shipping than the product! You use one buckle on each side to flip the doors and secure them inside the tarp. A male into a female. The other two are used by putting one on each end. When the doors are deployed, one male goes to a female at the end corner and the other female goes to a male corner. No need to stake out or have spare items not attached to the tarp. I really like that door set up and believe it would work on the Superfly as well. The rest of the tarp guy lines where Zing-it with Tarp Warms. I, myself, can't decide between the tarp worms or Fleas on a collar. Also can't decide between Triangle Stakes vs. Titanium Hook Stakes.
I go super simple. Nothing but guyline and a stake. Guyline attached to a shockcord loop which is attached to tarp tieout , run around stake, back through either tieout or shockcord loop, pulled to desired tension, secured with slippery half hitch(es). Alternatively I'll use taut line hitches.
