Bungees??!! I hope you have some super-reinforced mondo-bulletproof
bungees!! I can't begin to count the number of bungees I've found
along roadways. Those things are notoriously unreliable. How many
boats have you bounced off the pavement? I can honestly say I've never
lost a boat tied with my ropes!

John Kuthe...


Actually, these are pretty hefty. And they've got good, solid 'biners built
in. But mostly, the fact that the boats are down in the bed and restrained
that way makes me happier than I would be otherwise. For on top, out in the
wind, they get straps or ropes (ahah - not gonna pin me down there...)

Never lost a boat in thirty some years (sigh) of hauling them, and I've used
every fastening method known to man. Including shoving three of them
*inside* the motor home...something to do with my somewhat OCD tying
methods, I think...

One of the beauties of little boats. ;)
