I have the small plastic pices that slide over your rope and sit on top of your pegs, they work well

Post by: Mobi on June 03, 2014, 09:19:29 PM: I have brought glow in the dark ropes, not sure if they are the same as yours but in the end plain white ropes were just as good on a dark moonless night.

:cheers:

Post by: scarps on June 03, 2014, 09:24:04 PM: Another option is to grab some packs of glow sticks from the $2 shop. That way you use the existing ropes and throw the glow sticks on moonless nights. Woolworths/Coles also sometimes sell them in their partee section.

Post by: MattNQ on June 03, 2014, 11:03:45 PM: That rope is a great idea. Might tie it around the kids to keep an eye on them in the dark.

Quicker than putting these together... ;D

Post by: Chippy76 on June 04, 2014, 08:00:35 AM: I use the glow in the dark rope (bought of Ebay) it works pretty well after a full days sun, not a bright as the picture, but still visable
Cheers Chippy :D

Post by: NewieCamper on June 04, 2014, 08:56:39 AM: Might have to invest in some, our camo camper is kitted out with khaki ropes, hard enough to see in the daytime, let alone after dark.

Post by: #jonesy on June 04, 2014, 09:38:35 AM: Masters have the same rope. Saw it in the same area as their auto section with tow balls etc

Pretty much..
I have a Southern Cross Ultimate Trekker Tent and awning I'm selling, that's about 12 ropes - so my old ropes will go with that
I have a BlackWolf Tent that needs new ropes, and while at it I'll make some double sprung ropes for the annexe on the trailer.

Post by: Beachman on June 04, 2014, 11:22:45 AM: While the rope looks like a good idea, I think I will keep using my cheap glow sticks sticky tapped to the ropes.

Post by: champin on June 04, 2014, 04:04:36 PM: I use the glow sticks and put them in the springy guy rope tensioner thingos. Nothing seems to stop you necking youself when you have your wobbily boots on but.

Post by: Foo on June 06, 2014, 11:31:15 AM: You can get glow in the dark sleeves to go over your ropes and they sit down on your pegs. They are about 75mm long and are ok for what they are. ;)

They have them at BCF as well, the pegs would possibly work better then the rope?

How does it Glow in he Dark.
Are they Radioactive, did they supply a lead lined container to keep them in?
Were they made in Chernobyl or Fukashima?

Post by: Champin on July 09, 2016, 06:50:27 PM: Cheap $2 shop bendy light sticks. One in each of the spring tensioners or tapped to the rope works for me. Cheap too.
