This summer we have used bungees and carabiners everywhere and when - to keep our guywires tight.

See the attached examples.

I use them on a tarp but not on a tent. Bungees allow a bit of give in the wind but I don't want that on all my guys. The main guys are better off without bungees as they should not have any elasticity.
My wee tents have bungees anyway where needed.The manufacturer put in shockcord. Older tents have rubbers. My Alaska is designed to stay up in high wind without any rubbers or shockcord.
