Just bought a suv so this is exactly the video I need to watch :)

[@kaceesavage]

So right off the bat I noticed that you did tug on the strap but failed to pat the top or side of the cooler before saying “that isn’t going anywhere” this is exactly why everything flew off.

Whoever was flying the camera drone did a great job! Thanks for the video.

another step that some people miss is with the ratchet straps is have the strap lose enough before you start ratcheting to be sure to get enough wraps around the barrel to be sure the strap doesn't slip out and under severe conditions, it may keep the sharp edge where it goes through the slot from cutting the strap.. The few extra seconds of ratcheting it a few more times makes me feel like its more secure.

I think that putting the excess strap in the door may cause outside water to leak in, but is certainly an option when leaning towards an emergency situation.

[@sgetten]

Be sure to OPEN your doors before you strap things through them. LOL been there

[@birdlady2725]

🤣🤣🤣 Yup.

[@TheMrverma]

Sooo if you have rails only and you want to carry something like a tent on your roof. What’s the best way to tie down so that it doesn’t slide forward or backwards when you break or accelerate?

[@poetjenharris]

Thank you for the information! You're a great host too with excellent, clarified attention to detail.

[@ddop1-e2g]

Thank you! As a single woman I appreciate the video. Maybe a video on how to properly pack a roof cargo rack? Or a trailer hitch cargo carrier? How to disperse weight properly what goes in front as opposed to back. Thank you for the videos!❤

謝謝！

[@democritus90]

Awesome content. You can tell you're really enjoying yourself!

[@dawnsullivan6233]

Also on Nissan rogue 2022 I’m adding crossbars, but I’m very concerned about a soft carrier on top of it because I feel like the weight of the middle is going to droop

[@emilylawrence9974]

This is a super helpful and informational video! Thanks!

[@BadLuckFPV]

As an FPV drone pilot my mind was blown

[@roodleypoodleydoodley]

7:35 someones having fun with the drone lol

[@dawnsullivan6233]

Also on Nissan rogue 2022 I’m adding crossbars, but I’m very concerned about a soft carrier on top of it because I feel like the weight of the middle is going to droop. How can I prevent the middle from going down to the sunroof?

[@wardkline935]

i like the vid, just not having the pov almost crash into the test vehicle. take it easy there fly guy lol!

[@wardkline935]

7:13 for the 'close' pass.

[@dawnsullivan6233]

What if you have side rails but they don’t have any space underneath? My Nissan rogue 2022 goes pretty much flush against the car.

[@norcalwandernerd]

Can i use ratchet straps to tie a Christmas tree down to my roof rails? I used rope last year and it was very sketchy.

[@scout4locations]

What about the heavy duty rubber adjustable bungies? They are quick to secure and can hold a decent amount of weight. Good for small loads. Also, it is a good idea to cover a large load with a tarp after the load is tied down. That way the wind shear has less effect on the load, keeps things from flying off if a tie fails and it keeps things covered in bad weather.

[@birdlady2725]

I lost faith in bungies after seeing people lose stuff. They look safe n solid, but....

[@eddiecruz2613]

Its like the griswalds

[@devenm4601]

"thats not going anywhere" automatically trusting you lol gotta say that for luck

[@devenm4601]

i stande corrected it went everywhere lol

[@alexfoxleigh9443]

Super useful. Thank you :)

[@bonesusa1998]

🙋🏼‍♂️ How about teach how to tie with a rope, when done properly, holds much more then any cam straps and most of the available smaller ratchet straps. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@planaproject]

Your straps are wind up the wrong way around 😇 Having the hook available from the start is much easier, and you dont have to unwind it before you hook it on. /Truck-driver

[@SchoolofRockNRoll]

tell your drone operator they're hilarious

[@alexinadon7999]

What if your car doesn't have roof rails, and have a huge sunroof and also no metal thing in the back for a trailer. I need to transport a huge box (BMW m sport bumper in it ) what the hell should I do. It's for a 15 hours road trip😂😭💀

[@dawnrobbins5877]

Nice!

[@iwadollarolamilekanawotayo4348]
