    JoAnn's fabrics sometimes carry. My local Lowes cares it although not usually in a small enough size to be of much use for hammock gear. You also might want to try hardware stores.

    REI and the local sporting goods stores sell it here. I think most places that carry climbing gear will have webbing and shock cord. At least I regularly to see it together.

    AHE and http://backwoodsdaydreamer.webs.com/are two great sources with FAST shipping. Locally you will pay a lot for little.

    I've found it at the aptly named ****'s Sporting Goods with tent repair kits.

    I think I've also seen it sold at WalMart and Target...both as tent pole repair kits...though the quality could be suspect.

    Is polypro shock cord the way to go? OWF has the option between nylon and polypro.
