Releasable nylon ties...

[rogerdodger]

if you haven't discovered these and are into boating/fishing/crabbing/kayaking (this is OFF, who isn't?) then you might want to consider them, here is an example link:

basically a wide nylon zip tie that you can release and zip again, over and over again....I keep long and short ones zipped all over my boats so when I need one, I just release it from where it is and use it where I need it. It is sort of like having strips of duct tape hanging all over the place..

cheers, roger

Thanks for the link Roger. Zip ties are extremely handy and ones that are reusable are a great idea.

Nice, Roger! Get the black ones because the white ones are degraded by UV when used outside.

Here's another trick I picked up recently. Instead of using rope or whatever (or cable ties?) you can get these giant twist ties. I use one for holding my net up against the in side of my boat.

yep, those twist ties work also.

boats are covered with places to put a zip or twist (cables, rails, wires...), it is so great having these nylon ties just zipped around something and waiting to be used, not stored somewhere in a bag that you need to locate and get into. just release (or un-twist) and use where needed. I have them all over my kayak to secure things....

Great ideas guys! :clap: Any idea if either are available in a store? That would be good, too. Thanks to both!

I have seen similar twist ties at Home Depot also.
