Episode Synopsis

From chaos to cargo control, without feeling tied-down...Ben and Lauren expand on their previous episode, Ep171 - Roof Rack Storage, with a deep dive into the abundance of tubs, bags, containers, and strapping systems that keep your gear tight and together. In that, they discuss cam buckle reliability, and the pros and cons of ratchet straps, bungee cords, and occy straps for different securing scenarios. From hard tubs versus soft storage options and dedicated roof rack-style containers, to settling the age-old debate of straps versus ropes - this episode bears the load. Shortcuts:00:00 - Intro01:07 - A Spin-Off of Ep171: Roof Rack Storage 02:48 - Hard Tubs and Storage Boxes09:13 - Dedicated Roof Rack-Style Tubs10:18 - Soft Options and Storage Bags14:00 - Straps Vs Ropes14:49 - Ben's Take on Ropes and Knots17:33 - Cam Buckle Straps19:57 - Bungee, Occy, and Stretch Straps14:07 - Ratchet Straps28:44 - Ben's Recommendation29:32 - SummaryJoin the conversation over on our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/snowysHead to snowys.com.au for all your gear needs:https://www.snowys.com.au
