It is a good design and we have fine tuned it over the past few weeks. For example, putting a liner inside the bag, between the cordura and the rope makes for a much quitter rope retrieval. I like the idea of the bungee, but I hate bungee! Probably because I was my brothers rubber band target growing up. For the Drop Out Bags we are making, we prefer the cord as it lasts longer. Heres a couple of videos:
