ive had a homemade one for 2 years. used it a bunch. works great. cost less than 10 bucks to make. bought 1/2" bulk bungie at an ace hardware. enuff for 3 strands, then braided em. finished length is about 5 feet. took some nylon webbing, sewed it into a loop. use 2 of those for handles, hooking to sled, whatever.
Home-made snow bungie plans, who has one?

Hi, my name is mike and I WAS a snowbunjie non beleiver.
I am afraid of change and springy cords scare me.
My first experience with a homemade bunjie had me anxious, slightly scared, but most importantly skeptical.
I pulled uphill from the burried KK, tried to get the operator to dig it out the traditional way... The operator firmly told me to attatch the bungie and "floor it" I took one last look down at my bumper as I thought it may be the last time I would see it attatched to my sled... Looked back awaiting the thumbs up and pushed the flipper to the grip... Almost flipped over the bars as the bunjie extended... To my surprise, my bumper was intact, and the once submerged KK was free!
I still HATE to tow with them

A couple of years ago I too was a cheap A$$ and attempted to make my own Snow-bunje. It went really well but looking at the finished product and considering stretching it to the max with my face only 4 ft. behind it sorta deterred me from ever putting it to the test. Gave a few pulls on the ski with sled on concrete garage floor with no problem but add -25 degree temps and most generic elastics are not meant to stay together. I spent the $100 bucks and it has probably been the best money I've ever spent on a sledding accessory. Don't be a "Blind in one eye Redneck"! Spend the few bucks.
I have to admit though that some of the designs described on here are far more intelligent than some of the plans put forward on another sled forum last year. "Funny Chit".
