    Question Any Guyline Cord that is BOTH Reflective and Glow in the Dark?

    Like the title says, is anyone aware of any cordage that is both reflective AND glows in the dark that can be used for tarp guylines?

    I've tripped over my guylines answering the call of nature in the middle of the night one too many times and am ready to replace them. I was about to buy some stuff that's just reflective when I happened upon the glow in the dark & reflective shock cord that Dutch sells and now I want both features on my guylines too! I've been able to find paracord in the 4-5mm range that does both, but that's too thick for tarp guy outs IMO. I've spent the last hour or so googling and searching various sites but I've not been able to find anything.

    Is there anything out there that does both around the 1.5mm - 2.5mm range?

    Save your money. Glow in the dark only lasts a short time after being "charged" with a light source (sun, flashlight, etc.). By the time you're answering that 4am call of nature you're back to reflective being the only way to go. Fire up the red headlamp if you're not trying to ruin your night vision but any light makes the reflective stuff glow.

    Pick a bright color reflective line and don't look back...
