Default Ingenious ways to lash a bag without bungee

I know most of us probably use a bungee cord to lash a bag to the rack or seat.

But, I was interested in seeing other ways members came up with to lash a bag other than using a bungee.

Please post a picture of you have a non-bungee tie-down.

Thanks!

Looking for something re-useable, not needing replenished.

I have used duct tape for many things, lashing my bag has not been one of them. But, I do carry a small roll for McGyver repairs and whatever.

Also works great for sealing hotel door in the event of a fire (to prevent smoke intrusion). Been there done that one! Don't need to repeat.

I usually just hold the bag up and vigorously rub it on my head. Static cling rocks! Just watch out for the spark

I have a 15" by 30" and a 15" by 15" cargo net from J&P Cycles.
Beats the heck out of bungees.

Two bungees crisscrossed across my bag works too well to bother with anything else.

Not bungee straps, but ratchet straps.

This is what I use as well. Works very well.

I only use bungies to hold a light item (like a jacket). For packs or Dry Bag luggage I found D-ring straps to be the most secure and convenient. Always run them parallel never criss-cross for the most secure hold. I don't have any good pictures showing them on my EG Standard or Dyna but this pic somewhat shows them on my old BMW. I think I bought this set from Helen Two Wheels.
