Tip No. 6: Bungee brought ropes

Bungee wire is one of the most useful items you can take for reasons other than I thought at first glance. It is easy for a package deal with almost no room at all, and can even be useful in keeping your bags together, you criticized the maneuver onto the ship.
But here really cool part. One thing you'll find when you get to your cabin is that there is never enough places to hang things - such as shirt, or cap, or the camera in the case. Most of the cabin two or three hooks in it. While Hawk is the only large enough to hold a hat or similar item is large enough to hold two or three bungee cords. What is more, there are a lot of places off the board through which can accommodate one end of the bungee cord, but will not work in the implementation of death sentences in place, such as lamp or the edge of your mirror. Only paid bungee cord from any suitable place and - voila! - You Hawk is strong enough to hold anything for you.
