GearTies: They come in a variety of lengths, thicknesses and colors |
Occasionally, a product comes along that is so useful and so
simple, you just gotta shake your head and wonder, “Why didn’t I think of
that?” GearTies, which are nothing more than plastic-wrapped wires are a case
in point. They come in a variety
of lengths, thicknesses and colors and are easily formed into hooks, coils and
custom configurations. They are
most popular for bundling electrical wires, but their uses are limited only by
your imagination: Secure your GPS
to a canoe thwart; bind a rolled tarp; hang a light inside your tent;
secure paddles to canoe thwarts for portaging; hang a water bag or pack from a tree
limb etc.
Their uses are limited only by your imagination |
Okay, GearTies are not a “must have” item. But they are pretty cool. And they sure
are useful. The more I use them the more uses I find for them. Really, now; why didn’t I think of
that?
You can get them Here if I've peaked your interest.

one great use of the gear ties is securing 6 mil liner inside Duluth pack. just like a twist tie on a bag of bread. much easier than using shock cord or para cord. can be done using one hand.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Thank you. Now, why didn't I think of that?
