| Re: make a bungee The larger bungee material is quite expensive. Nice photo sequence, Maybe this should be in DIY and homemade?

| Re: make a bungee Another way is to wrap the line around the bungee in a spiral secruing it at both ends with a whipping. the spiral allows shock absorbtion and as the line is continuous there is no weak link. I copied it having seen yachts tied up like this with rubber innertube as the bungee bit . Ill try and do a piccie if you want |
