This is an excellent demo! I need to make some longer lengths for my RV tarp hold down. Hog rings are so useful!

You are the Bungee King!

[@ParacordPlanet]

Thank you! 🙏

[@AnthonyWheelson]

Thanks, man! Very useful!!

[@mvblitzyo]

wow jam packed with great information thanks !

[@elenabreck8958]

I don't understand the premise that we don't know the quality of the bungee cords we buy around. How do we determine the quality of the cord we'd use to make our own?

[@davidlahaisejr7479]

I like the bungee cord

[@gustavotobon7042]

Hello,
Can the closed hook be used with a 1/2 inch bungee cord. Thank you

[@molley17]

Hi what are the screw anchors called?

[@CH-iy4go]

What size cord are you using?

[@MrMatthewHelm]

You recommend 1/4” but then none of the hooks in your link say 1/4”?

[@register1430]

what about just making a closed loop?

[@SamGGreenberg]

I was hoping for some cool stopper knot. Staples feel like cheating! :)
Edit: we could use some sort of whipping, right?

[@ParacordPlanet]

Since the fibers of a bungee cord get narrower when pulled, a whipping would likely slide off after much force is applied. A more complicated stopper knot would work, such as the single strand diamond knot, but it may be more bulky than is practical.

[@bp6992]

Maybe a constrictor knot using microparacord on the folded bungee cord end instead of the hog ring.

I have a blind friend who gets a new dog from time to time. The Guide Dogs folk are remarkable in their indefatigably positive attitude.
Once, a "noobie" getting her first dog asked a question. The trainer, not missing a beat replied, "Yeah, you could do that, but you might get dead."
Sage advice with a slight twinkle of the eye.
