DIY Stuff Sack Cord Locks

[gr8brew]

I started doing this for bowhunting purposes to avoid the noise of plastic hitting orher hard objects. Turns out to be cheap and light weight as well.

What you see in the first pic is a bike tube, bowstring center serving, large needle, and a scissors.

Cut a strip of tube.
Use the needle to fish the cord through the sack.
Fold the tube into an accordion with a larger tail to pull on.
Pierce the needle through the tube strip pulling one end of the cord through.
Pierce the other side through the tube.
Tie a stopper knot and done.

Took me a little while to get this but i figure the rubber of the tube provides good enough friction so that the bag wont open unless you pull the tail. Very nice.

Looks pretty cool. I've had good luck with this version made of paracord only, but this looks like fun too.

I like both of these and will give them a try. Nice job.

Another great use for ranger bands. Good work.

Very nice, I make ranger beads all the time and never thought to try this. Thanks for sharing!
