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.
