I'm sorry.
In my hut the metal poles that support the "tent" have stretch cord in them to keep them together when they are taken down, like in a pop-up tent, and the cord on one side has worn thru. They are like bungie cord.

[black][size 3]That stretch rope is called "shock chord" or "shock cord". [/size][/black]

[black][size 3]I have had to replace that on some of my tent poles. Here in SLC area, I can get that a few blocks from my house at a place that specializes in tents and other outdoor gear.[/size][/black]

Thanks guys.
Found some cord at D&B for .34/ft and she's all fixed! With my Mr Heater Buddy I'll be ready for some cold windy weather. Found some ice at Carey Lake so will be trying it out for perch, gills, and maybe even a bass this Sat. Lord Willing!
