SGT KNOTS Marine Grade Bungee Cord - 100% Elastic Cord, Dacron Polyester Bungee Shock Cord for DIY, Tie Downs, Commercial Uses | 1/8" x 100ft, Brown - Bungee Cords - desertcart.com

Review: Good quality 1/8" shock cord, great for camping/bushcraft, and made in the USA - The SGT KNOTS Shorck Cord 1/8" - 100 Feet (OD Green) is an excellent choice for light to medium duty cordage needs, and a good value. It stretches approximately 100% of its length (i.e., a 6-inch piece will stretch to about 12 inches), which I consider ideal. I use this cordage to stake out corners of a tarp. I carry four loops with me in my pack, each made from a 36" length of this shock cord tied in a knot to make the loop, and weighing about 6 grams per loop (24 grams total for the four loops). In light winds, I run the loops through the lower tie outs of my tarp, making it easy to stake it out snugly, but providing plenty of flex to reduce strain on the tarp and to take up any slack (i.e., eliminate sagging) if the tarp fabric stretches a bit in the weather. In heavier winds, I double each loop so that instead of two strands of 1/8" shock cord at each tie out, I have four strands, which doubles the tension and seems adequately durable. Also nice about 1/8" cordage is the ease of tying knots. It's lighter and less bulky than the more common 1/4" diameter shock cord, and if more strength is needed, it can be looped or double looped as I mentioned above. So I think it's ideal for hiking/camping/bushcraft purposes. Also, the green color is nice: fairly dark and "wilderness" friendly if you prefer to blend in, rather than stick out with brightly colored gear. If there's a downside, some people may not like the rubber core, which does not melt well to fuse the ends with the sheath. In practice, I've found that just melting the sheath and tying off the end in a knot (to make the loops I mentioned above) seems plenty adequate to prevent fraying, so I think it's fine. What more can I say? If you're looking for good 1/8" shock cord, this is a good choice and made in the USA.
Review: Superior Quality and Performance - The SGT KNOTS Marine Grade Shock Cord is an absolute game-changer when it comes to securing and fastening items in any outdoor setting. This shock cord is a testament to superior quality and performance. The durability of this marine-grade shock cord is exceptional. It is made from high-quality materials that can withstand harsh weather conditions, UV exposure, and heavy usage. I've used it for various applications, from securing equipment on my boat to creating custom storage solutions while camping, and it has never let me down. One of the standout features of this shock cord is its strong elasticity. It provides reliable tension, ensuring a secure and snug fit for my gear. Even with repeated stretching and use, it maintains its elasticity and resilience, offering long-lasting performance. The versatility of the SGT KNOTS Marine Grade Shock Cord is impressive. It is available in different diameters and lengths, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether I need to secure a tarp, create a DIY gear strap, or tie down items for transportation, this shock cord delivers excellent results. In addition to its performance, the bright colors of the shock cord are a practical touch. They enhance visibility and make it easier to locate and identify the cord among other items.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Good thickness for making Chinese jump ropes?**
A: I would say no, you'd want something a little more substantial.  This cord is abut the same size as fond on back-packs to hold water bottles.

**Q: Does the cord come with hooks, or do I have to purchase hooks separately?**
A: SGT KNOTS shock cord does not come with hooks. You have to purchase these separately.

When ordering the hooks to attach to the cord, make sure you order the correct size of the hook so it will attach/fit into your shock cord.

For example: 1/4" size shock cord needs 1/4" size hook or end attachment.

Hope this helps!

**Q: Do you offer a Flat version?**
A: Get heavier, perhaps double the size.

**Q: Does this come in an assorted set?**
A: Hello.  Assorted sets are not available.  The main image is to showcase the color options.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality 1/8" shock cord, great for camping/bushcraft, and made in the USA

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ as a replacement for tent pole shock cord
*by C***D on May 19, 2013*

Product is as described and appears of good quality. My intent was to use this for replacement of worn out shock cord to a tent I have. The poles are 9.5 mm (3/8") diameter and a 9/64" drill bit slides easily in the hole the cord goes into to hold the tent pole sections together. The cord comes off the spool slightly oval in shape and isn't easy to fit inside the hole. This is why I only rated this product as 4 stars. 1/64" of room with an oval shape isn't enough clearance to thread the cord through. I'm still experimenting on how to thread this cord inside the 18' of poles the tent uses. I'm going to try fishing line next to try and pull the line back through after attaching the shock cord fastened to it with tape. In hindsight, a 3/32" diameter shock cord is what is needed for the 9/64" hole in the tent poles. Good quality and stretch, I'll most likely keep it and find other ways to use it. Tent repair kits seldom mention the cord size used in their kits. I hope this helps others when evaluating what is needed to repair their tent poles. It is very frustrating that tent manufacturers (located in USA, sold in USA, and used by Americans) continue to force the metric measurements on us. In this country we use SAE measurements, NOT metric. edited June24-2013: I found a better way to thread the shock cord through the tent poles. I'd bought a tent pole replacement kit and ended up using the included threader to pull the strong string attached to the shock cord through. I couldn't get the tape to stay on the wire in the above method. Instead I used a strong piece of thread (maybe dental floss if you don't have anything else) and some bees wax. I took a sewing needle and came a quarter inch from the end and threaded the needle though. Then I came at a right angle to the 1st needle insertion points and threaded it through again. That way the thread is attached in 4 places. Be sure to start out with thread that is about 3 feet long. Take the needle off the thread and tie a knot close to the end of the shock cord.Then I used the threader supplied in the tent pole kit to fish the thread through and then pulled the attached cord through. Repeat this as many times as necessary to get the cord through all the poles. Each different group of poles you will need to thread the needle through the shock cord to reattach the strong thread through the poles. The bees wax on the needle end of the thread made it sticky enough I didn't need to tie a knot in the thread to pull it through. Once I got this system figured out, it took a little over an hour to install the shock cord through 4 sections of poles, (each section had 9 poles in it). I did not cut the shock cord until I had the cord threaded all the way through each group of 9 poles. Then I tied knots in the end I had just finished threading through. Then I cut the end where the spool was. I used a small clamp to keep stop the cord from going inside the poles while I was tying knots in the 2nd end. Hope this helps at least one person. Every store I asked about this couldn't-wouldn't help, they all wanted to sell me a new tent. Good luck, Mike
