Check out Dyneema bungee from sgt knots supply. I just ordered some, my 'necklace' with just normal hardware store bungee is losing its mojo fast.

I was leaning toward kellogii, but the leaves don't seem quite right

Sean we have lots of these down here, most folks just say red oak or Scarlett. I have one in my backyard and recently tried to ID it more specifically but couldn't find anything that matches exactly, it's the weird smooth-ish bark without the deep furrows that throws me. Sweet trees though. I'd...

I wanted to be Indiana jones. In fact I kind of still do. Is it too late?

Wow quite a view. Looked like a pretty good little project Jon

Great stuff thanks for posting august Jon

Hi guys thanks, haven't checked in here for a few days. Pat (pigwot) hooked me up. I figured you guys might nick, but i didn't get that far. Looking forward to seeing how the wrench stacks up to the HH

Hi guys, Does anyone have an extra slick pin for zk1? Or maybe is anyone looking for a brand new never used zk1? Open to offers and trades. Thanks Jon

I use the hitch hiker with a small stitched accessory cord loop, tended with LOTS. As simple as, no extra stuff.

Oops i guess I attached it twice, but that's better than not at all. I've got to learn this new system.

Here it is, super minimalist, but some high quality stitching and craftsmanship if i say so myself. Blake's hitch tightens around boot, stitched tight eyes attach to croll, and bungee (39 cents a foot!) doubled and fastened with a double fisherman's knot at carabiner. A few rubber band loops to...
