Tie down methods

Craig,

We also had a Rack-Sack, and found it held a lot of gear, and kept it out of the rain and dust. The first one ripped along one seam, and was replaced without question, by ARB.

These small ratchet straps you can buy now are the ducks-nuts for containing a load. They're light, cheap and really stop any movement. If you had, say 4 - 6 of them along a roof rack, there'd be little chance of any loss, or movement. I think they're so good, you could probably break stuff, with the amount of purchase one can put on the ratchet system.

When i was more flexable i use to climb up the rear tyre to get to our gear up there. Blow me down i saw another woman do the same. Ratchet straps are the go. We use them on our motor bikes too.
