I looked online, and it what is coming up, is rolls of bungee cord, shock cord.
Is this the same stuff and if so, are you buying 1/8th inch?
Black or white?

I get mine from Dutch. Much better quality than from my local outdoor store.
I just picked some up at my local Ace Hardware, its not from Dutch but its shock cord and works just fine.

I buy mine from SLD, here's the link: http://www.simplylightdesigns.com/ca...hp/cPath/30_59 . Can't beat free shipping for orders of $15 or more, plus I'm sure you'll find something else to add to your order (those mini key chain LED lights are great for the ridgeline)
I've purchased from REI by the foot and RSBR by the hank. The shock cord from RSBR has a much softer sheath than the cord from REI, but I don't know which is preferable. They both work fine for me as applied. Right now I don't have a need for anything other than 1/8" which works just fine for primary/secondary underquilt suspension as well as snugging end channels. I'm also using it on a backpack project for snugging drawcord pockets and front panel pocket compression.
1/4" is huge and I can't think of what I'd use it for related to hammock camping. I would think that 3/32" would certainly be fine for many of the tasks I use 1/8" for, but I don't personally want to deal with two different sizes in my "inventory" and the weight savings would be very minor.
