Bungee cords are elastic cords made from an elastic core and a woven sheath, designed to stretch and return to their original shape — perfect as fastening devices and for absorbing shock. Secure tarps, luggage, and objects in a truck bed, or take them along for camping, fishing, and trip packing. Around the house and garage, they organize cords, hold trash can lids down, and keep long items in place; for DIY projects, they make improvised tools like kayak paddle keepers or hold doors open. One simple cord, countless everyday solutions.
