I came up with a good idea to make trail markers.
Get a package of ping pong balls and some reflective tape
I took the tape and cut it into strips and stuck it around the cinter line of the ping pong balls and drilled a hole all the way trough the top adn bottom of the ball and tie a string to it.
You can tie the ping ponmg balls to a branch in the middle of your trail and it should reflect your flash light back to you. and during the day light you should have no trouble seeing them on way out.
