Best place for shock cord?

[Geektechnica]

I'm in need of shock cord for my tarp tie outs and hopefully for a UQ I want to make. Where is the best place to come by about 25 feet of it?

Thanks!

DIY Gear Supply (http://www.backwoodsdaydreamer.com/products-page/) is the go to store for me and many others.

+1 on Scott at DIy Gear Supply!

If all I was ordering was 1/8" shock cord I would get it from Supply Captain due to cost and color selction.

If I was ordering a variety of supplies... DIY Gear Supply all the way.

I like their shock cord. Got some Type I paracord from them too. Really nice in stuff sacks with the micro cord locks from the various other vendors.

Another +1 on DIY Gear Supply, especially if you need a variety. I also like Wilderness Logics.

And, honestly, if you're near an REI or similar, they usually have it in person. That'd probably the easiest.

Excellent, thanks guys!

EDIT: What diameter is commonly used for tarp tensioners, etc..?

1/8" is normally used for tarp tensioners and UQ suspensions. Buy more than your current project requires. You'll save on shipping later when you find more uses.

Buy WAY more!!! And those little doo-dads like mitten hooks, cord-locks and buckles ... Buy 'em by the dozen(s).
Trust me on this!

If you have a Backwoods in your area, they are a good place to get some by the foot. Also, Mountain Sports.
