Bungee cords can be made from many different types of material, and as long as they bungee back, the cords will serve a purpose.

Bungees can have hooks or balls on each end as a way to attach the cord.

There are many ways bungee cords make your life better. In fact, Reddit posters on the r/camping channel call the cords one of the most underrated pieces of gear.

Why?

Versatility.

You can use them to secure tarps, keep firewood bundled and just hold things together.

Hook either end to a tree and you have a clothes line.

Even string them through the roll of paper towels and it acts as an easy-to-use holder.

Bungee cords spring into action whenever you need them.

That is, if you can find where you stashed them.

If not, head over to your local hardware store and buy a bundle or a jarful.
