I don't need it to pull the stakes out.
I'm just going to tie it around the stake to see it so I don't trip over the little bastards.

You saved me the trouble of explaining that. Ta.
I do have some thin stuff too. 2 mm. Trouble with it is that it doesn’t glow very well. It’s just about ok for the guy lines (and which is what I use it for).
The 5 mm stuff I use for things I want to find in the tent in the dark. Pulling out the fibres in the core let’s you knot it in shorter lengths but you’d still want 6 inches to make a knotted loop.

No way, you'll want at least 15cm per stake. I'd go for 20cm, a knot in 4mm paracord will take about 10cm of cord. This is what 17cm of 4mm paracord gives you. Hardly enough to put my pinky finger through, and I'd wager I'm about half Hippy's weight.
