Sometimes I come up with things that make my life easier
I came up with this about a week ago. OK, yea yea yea, I know someone else PROBABLY thought of this already. But I had never seen it used. The only thing I've seen before are the little cargo net things that come in "pricier" cars. Well I drive a little cheapo bottom of the line automobile... it gets me from point A to B and back again and that's all I need.
So I don't have one of those fancy pants cargo nets. But what I DO have is a little bit of creative smarts and a bungee cord! Also I have two back seats that have head rests.
Soooooo as you can see from the pictures below I fixed up a problem I've been having.
What was the problem? Well the problem was that my bags would always shift and spill on my drive home! It was annoying. I didn't even drive that fast or make very many twists or turns at all! I'd go shopping and pack my backs up all nice and neat and then they will always NO MATTER WHAT spill out things into the back of my car.
Soooooo I decided enough was enough. And I came up with a way to fasten them in place. Here are two pictures... now I use re-useable cloth bags but it also works just fine with regular old plastic bags. This idea came out of how I secure my folding bike in place when I put that in my trunk. I use the same bungee cord to hold it upright and instead of letting it roll around from side to side.
So what I do is I thread the bungee cord through the handles of the bags. Then I just hook up the cord to the head rests. The bags stay nice and snug and in place and nothing ever spills out!
This makes me super happy. It works like a charm EVERY time. Soooo if you have the same type of setup... I'm sure that you can bungee your bags in place as well!
So that's secret number one to easier living. I should start writing articles for readers digest or something!
Well, that's all I got for now. So give it a try out and let me know how it go... or goes...
Night internets worlds!
