Take a look at zPacks. Many options: http://www.zpacks.com/accessories/spectra_cord.shtml

Check Zpacks, they have some good cord that I have used on several projects. The super lw stuff I haved uesd is the 1.25 or 1.5mm. I like yellow as it is easier to see.

Inexpensive = shoelace or leather bootlace.

The zPacks cords are priced in various cents per yard so cost really seems like a non issue in terms of getting lightweight materials.

ive used paracord, but the stores like Home Depot and Lowes sell other lightweight nylon cord by the foot cheaper than the fabric stores. I always make my stuff sacks. I use one color for anything that has an odor like food, deodorants or toothpaste, etc. That makes it easier when bear-bagging. I also never use a sack that has been used for food for anything else. Even after washing, they still have some odor.

I use braided masons twine from Home Depot. Cheap light and slippery. Great for stuff sacks.

Light and inexpensive cord for stuff sacks. If you have a DollarTree near you, you can get all kinds of different cords you can use, from shoelaces to a nice long piece of clothsline. The DollarTree is a great place to find stuff for DIY experiments.

Wally World sells a roll of 1/8" nylon cord with a break strength of 170 lbs. for a couple of $$. Forgot how much cord was on the roll, but it was a lot! The cord is also good for guying tent, bear bagging, whatever!

Thanks for the replies. I have some braided mason line, but just didn't think of it. I am just getting start with MYOG, so I didn't want to spend too much on the first few. I will upgrade as necessary.

Find some old blinds and you'll have all the cord you need. I usually save the extra cord that I cut off of blinds that I hang for the wife.

This. I use masons line as well for my stuff sacks. works great with the mini-elliptical cordlocks.
