Yep, good point. I carry a old rubber foot mat for that.

Ratchet straps - Supercheap auto. I like the ones that have the rubber covering over the ratchet mechanism.

Occy straps - one of the most dangerous items sold freely today - I can't understand why they haven't been banned. A friend of mine lost an eye when someone undoing skis from the top of a car let go of one - a beautiful girl's life changed forever.

If you're going to use them, at least get the ones with the length of clear tubing over them - this prevents the rebound from being quite as dangerous.
