    Shock cord ?

    Where are some good places to get shock cord from. If I can I would like to get it locally if I can I just dont know if I need to check at hardware stores, fabric stores, craft stores, ect.

    Many camping stores sell it. Some hardware stores might have it, but it's usually the thicker stuff. Fabric stores are a maybe.

    If you're willing to put int about an hours worth of work, you could pick up a cargo net made of shock cord from most hardware stores.

    Just got 100' of 1/8" from Ebay, 8 bucks, $12 with shipping. It's supposed to be mil spec, has 85% elongation and 95 lb test. Appears to be "good enough" quality for what I need and the price is definitely right.

    I simply order mine online, bundled with other supplies.
    Just remember to order twice what you think you will need because it's so darn useful, you'll come up with more uses.

    I've had great results from Arrowhead Equipment, Hammock Gear, and Outdoor Wilderness Fabrics.
