Thanks for telling me about cheap shock cord .

[riverjoe]

I can't remember who you are or what thread I read it on . But hey thanks for the tip . Bought a cargo net at Harbor Freight and started undoing knots while watching TV . There are a ton of other tips I pick up sometimes I remember where and sometimes Ill be doing something and say to myself ..dang that was a good idea Joe ... then I realize I read it here somewhere . So anyway thanks since you guys don't have a thanks button .

Heres the net I bought . Ive got about 30 or 40 feet of good quality shock cord about 3/16" and Iv'e only unraveled about half of it .

Yep, I've used this a few time before myself.

Although if you are picking up other things as well it is worth getting it from DIY Gear Supply for $0.17 - $0.20/foot as it is typically in better condition having not been previously knotted up.

SupplyCaptain.com is another place for fair prices on shock cord.

100' $7-$10 no need to untie, spend the idle time splicing amsteel.

This stuff on Amazon is cheap. 300' of 3/32" for $20 and 1/8" for $25. I just got the 3/32", not the highest quality stuff I've ever seen, the elasticity isn't the strongest, but for less than $0.07 a foot I can't complain too much. Don't have any experience with the larger diameters though.

^^^ that's what I use, no problems yet.
