Boris Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Quite simple. Eithe replace your guy ropes with bright yellow *almost* glow in the dark alternatives... easily available, or do what I do if I don't have the relevant tent with me and rip up some carrier bags and just tie knots of carrier bag at various points down your guy ropes. Cheap and works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 We take everything away from our site when we break camp. Even the lengths of tape go into an old carrier bag to be re-used at the next fest. I don't know if that's being green or mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouch15 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Okay Okay, so I am one of these annoying people who have black guy ropes.. Problems is my tent is an obscure shape and its needs the guy ropes to hold it up, the ropes are specific to the tent and I cant replace them with neon ones ( i have looked into that) How can I make them more noticeable, I tried tying stuff to them, I tried cutting open a glow stick and smearing the glowy juice on them, all works until it gets really dark and then I hear the inevitable tripping and thudding!! Anyone got any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickygrape Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Although my tent was rubbish and a waste of £40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickygrape Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 The trouble with carrier bags (or any plastic) is they can rustle really loudly in the wind - really annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkorsak Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 You are obviousely not wasted enough when you get back to your tent.... You not one of those who go to bed once the stages shut down are you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
