It does seem really odd for a teat to make a reference to guy lines.

I picked up a cheap box of solar-recharged plastic lawn lights at BigLots a couple years ago. They stake into the ground, recharge during the day, have one LED that is just bright enough to draw attention to the fact my stake & guy line are there. In addition to helping everyone not trip over our stuff, they give a little light to the site for when crawling out at 5am for a pee run.
The other thing we do is use a bright orange rope for the guy-lines. Also picked up dirt cheap at BigLots (which had, crazy enough, Mothers and Kashi cereals on clearance last time we were there!). Ok, I'm a biglots hack.

ornage duct tape flags went well. flagged at intervals, still walked into them, added additional flags at nearer intervals, and we were fine. we had plenty of space around or camp so the only dorks potentially walking into the guy lines were us, until the mudpit grew and people had to pass right by us. no one tripped.
We were so packed together that it was all but impossible not to trip over guy lines. I brought some orange construction tape and tied it to all my neighbors lines. Still tripped all day

Ok so worse than guy lines, I found, were the tent stakes themselves. I bought cheapy stakes at Dicks, not equipped with any caps. I didn't see myself stepping on them, but I did. I have a huge hole in the bottom of my foot. I beg and plead with any and everyone, get rubber caps of some sort to put on top of your stakes if its exposed metal. Your feet will thank you ten thousand times over.
We bought little red cones at Dollar General and put them all around our tent so that we (or no one else) would trip over them. Unfortunately, one of our neighbors wasn't sure how to set up their tent, and the guy lines were in perfect tripping position(and not the good kind of tripping) so after the first day I changed my route to my tent.

I busted my ass on many occasions in tent only. It looked like I was the only person that decided to flag my guy lines. What was worse though were the amount of tent stakes that were not in the ground all the way. That killed my feet.

i always bring one of these miner lights you wear on your head for latenight trippin but my crew alwsy makes fun of me though! my friend chad got WAY disorientated this yaer, after fallin into like 12 tents he started started kickin n stomppin the lines purposely on sat nite. he's a good guy n all but he got in over his head and turned into a total douche. sorry to my peeps in pod 11!
Seriously, get the cheap-o stake-in solar lawn lights and put one right next to each of the guyline stakes. They are $28 for a pack of 12 at biglots and similar stores: www.biglots.com/browseItem/lighting-and-solar/3178
