Cord and Stake Bag/Rock Throw Bag |
I carry my stakes and about 6' of
extra cord in a small sack. Recently I was trying to get a line over a tree
and was looking for a better way. I added my 50' of line as the pull cord
for this bag - 50' for a little bag?. Voila! I now have a combination stake
bag and throw bag/cord for my food bag. For cord I use 550 cord with inner
strings removed. |
