Abstract
A trail marking device for marking a trail and guide an individual who is retracing his steps in a wooded area during daylight or darkness. The trail marking device includes an elongate sheet of light reflecting material which can be easily seen in the daylight and an abutting strip of luminescent material which can be more easily viewed in darkness. A plurality of longitudinally spaced, longitudinally aligned wire sections are sandwiched between the strips for securing individual sheet sections to a tree limb. The sheet sections are detachably coupled to adjacent sheet sections along perforated break lines. The strips are wound on a spool which include a plurality of tacks which can be used for alternately tacking the strips to a tree.
