Re: Trailer Tie Stories

[Linda Cowles <linda_cowles@mentorg.com>]

This bungie cord was the original brand; they initially came out 7 to 10
years ago. 

They are very thick and black with light blue threads, and there were
two styles. One was like a regular trailer tie, and one had a velcro
loop on the one end and a huge bull snap on the other, and was long
enough to be used in pairs for cross ties, of singly as a rail tie.

Funny that the heavy bull snap gave out before the velcro, eh?!!!

I wouldn't use any of them now...
