Totally Tubular – Cow Tails

I made these a bunch of years ago to serve as retention lanyards in a canoe. Keep say a camera bag safely tethered to the boat, and still have it be easy to access. There are other uses for it as well, anywhere you want to prevent something from sliding off or out of something. A friend puts his pack on the front passenger seat and clips it in to prevent it from sliding all over the place.

Made with bungee cord, some 1⁄2" tubular webbing and some 1" tubular webbing. The 1⁄2" webbing went over the bungee to protect it from wear and tear. Just knotted, not sewn. There are fall protection lanyards similar to this which are sewn, but this is not meant to prevent loss of life, just loss of property. No need to sew really.
