Never trip in the dark again. Great for staking or guying out your tent or tarp, the Kelty Triptease Lightline is made from gold reflective nylon that's easy to see, with a Dyneema core that provides superior strength Read More
phew! I gotta be honest, people can write some pretty dumb things on the forums. And I had to laugh when I imaged someone tying a guyline to their tent and then walking into the woods, holding onto the cord to find the trail, like hansel and gretel dropping bread crumbs. Had a good chuckle, thanks!
_megapixelIts not about guiding you to camp, its about another hiker waking up to take a leak and tripping over my lines collapsing my tent. And by other hiker I mean myself :)
msjordanI'm not at all partial to this Kelty cord as there are so many other, better cords available, but anything is better than paracord. The 1970s are over, we have good cordage now.
Heefty188lbs, which is plenty and on par with most other guylines. This is quoted on some sites but was confirmed to me by Kelty when I asked. It's pretty good cord. I like the Lawson better myself but this isn't bad at all.
The particular cord I mentioned is supposed to be comparable to zing-it, if you are familiar with that, so much stronger than regular cord for tie outs. It could almost be too much (same for 188lbs) if someone were to trip over it - you would rather the cord break than the tent or tarp tear, although the stake will most likely pull out first.

Honestly, the kelty stuff is decent, but I switched over to Lawson Equipment's guywire and his other braided material, using Spectra, Dyneema, etc. and love it, even more so the cost. He will also do larger spools and lengths too.
Would recommend buying some Zing-It in bulk for less. Available at a lot of places; I'm partial to Dutchware for odds and ends (I don't need TONS of this stuff).
