We us quite a few carabiners and quickdraws for attaching and hanging stuff on eyebolts connected to the 8020.

CamJam

These are the smaller plastic ones for use with 1/4 inch bungee cord.

CamJam XT

This is a larger metal version that works well with 6mm cord. I use this with my hammock. Makes it really easy to adjust the length of the rope.

CargoBuckle

These are the same as the ones VanDOit uses.

Tie Down Strap

We use these to tie down a standup paddleboard.

Shock Cord

1/4″ Shock Cord. This fits in the predrilled holes in the 8020. I strung it back and forth along the ceiling for overhead storage.

Rope

This is really thick paracord. A 5.6mm static rope (doesn’t stretch). Works great with the CamJam XT. I use it to hang my hammock when the trees are too far apart for my hammock straps.
