Bungie cords- recent use by women & girls?

[lph]

I will say that I never used a tie-down strap until we started farming (mesh straps with ratcheting mechanism to tighten them). Now we use them ALL the time!

Yup, I was going to say that bungie cords I never noticed using or not using, but those ratcheting straps I never used until I did fieldwork as a student with a snowscooter, and had to stow a lot of gear securely. I love them for securing heavy stuff, but they can be a real PITA to open when they're frozen.

Bungies, meh. Handy sometimes, but I've had them fly off and engage in my wheel too, not fun. I prefer something not that elastic.
