What might you have to do to your guy lines when it starts raining?
Loosen them a little.
Because, for natural rope, the water can make the guys tighten and pull the pegs out. Then your tent might fall over. But don't loosen them too much as they will definitely fall over!
When they dry again, the guys slacken and your tent might be wobbly, so you have to tighten them again!
