Those with bungees and ratchet straps just need to learn a trucker's hitch and carry para cord.


Good idea...I can still cut the paracord off my pack when my trucker’s hitch turns into a square knot. 😜

And there's that. I go through miles of the stuff. It's used to keep elk from sliding, hang quarters if being left, tie up quarters for dragging, and tying onto the pack. It's super light, cheap, ties well, and it's strong. It cuts into your hands if you pull it so you have to fashion a handle or something if you want to pull on it.
