Paracord is a horrible guy line. When it gets wet it stretches. If you’re hunkered down during a storm your rain fly will slowly flap more and more in the wind.

Good catch. I referred to the guy line rope in the video as "paracord" but it's actually nylon static cord. As a worst case, you can always use paracord and re-tension once it gets wet and stretches.
