Those reflective tracers did not work for me when I put the cord bunched together on top of my work table at night with no lights on. I shined a flashlight on the cord from several different angles and did not see any thing that appeared to be reflective. I am using bright yellow mason line for the side tie outs and one of my regular tarp ridge lines made from Zing It in place of the provided orange cord. Also getting rid of the cheap aluminum stakes for a couple of Ti ones. I may mod the tarp with some grosgrain tie outs as the metal grommets have a poor track record when used with tarps.I didn't realize the guylines were reflective
I could only get about 2/3's of the tarp back in the factory stuff sack using the stuff method. In the field I am not going to take the time to roll a tarp up to get it back into a stuff sack. I will be making a new one. Just have to find some dark ripstop nylon.I was able to get my tarp back into the sack, but couldn't do so using a "stuff it" type approach. I had to roll it up to get it back in. I'd much rather have a stuff sack.
