Nylon webbing with ladder lock buckles
March 5th, 2006
We all have to tie things down now and then. To the roof of a car, to the back of a bike rack, to a trailer.
Rope works fine, but I really like using nylon webbing with those ladder lock buckles.
You can get the webbing in various widths, though 1″ is the most popular. You can get it in just about any length you want. And the familiar ladder lock buckles (just like on your backpack) make securing your stuff dead simple. Just thread the loose end through the buckle and pull tight.
Simple, cheap and effective. And you don’t have to figure out if that knot you just tied is any good.
