A suggestion: please offer the new cord separately for those of us who have the older version! Thanks! If I should post this somewhere else, please let me know. (I'm happy with my groundhogs so not as interested in the stakes.)

The new cord is standard 2.5mm accessory cord, so it is widely available and easy to retrofit. You can buy it by the foot or yard at most outdoors shop, where 2 yards ($2) would be sufficient to replace the line at the four corners. Or most online places sell it by the 50' hank, which would give plenty of extra for other uses. Any cord in the 2.0 - 2.5mm range will work nicely. 3mm is too thick to work properly. 2.5mm holds extremely well but doesn't operate quite as smoothly as 2.0mm, which still holds substantially better than the previous 1.5mm. I am working on offering some guylines on DurstonGear.com but right now a really nice option is this line from Lawson in the 2.0 or 2.5mm size: https://lawsonequipment.com/All-Products/Reflective-Glowire-p1024.html Another option is the 2.3mm line from Zpacks: https://zpacks.com/products/50-feet-2-3-mm-z-line-reflective-cord
I asked about some sage color for custom matching cord but the available colors were too different that it didn't look good and the minimums for custom dye are very high, so I'm not able to do it. Also, we are moving away from the sage colored cord to black because it is a bit easier to see when it is contrasting like that. For example, I find it a bit easier to use the door toggles when they are black because they stand out more than sage cord on sage cloth. So the custom cord I am working on is likely to be black.
