In Response To: Re: Other: Rack Strap Pressure (Bill Hamm)
I use ratchet straps for lots of things, just not kayaks, big boats sure. They work great for securing things in the truck or trailer like lumber, hard to hurt a 2x4.One big problem with them on kayaks and canoes is the ratchet itself, full of sharp edges that just love to scratch the finish of the kayak.
I really prefer Yakama or Thule's straps, they have nice rubber coated buckles that won't scratch anything, but they are expensive.

A simple "Truckie"knot is all that is needed!Everything else is literally "overkill".Remember when life was simple?
