    And yes I can tie knots.
    Can even happen to heavy duty ratchet straps.
    Even dog and chain load restraints will loosen. Loads will always shift.

    Never let an opportunity slide, especially with Gav; he won't.

    Happened to me the other day...







    On a serious note..... great topic Grappler. So true how badly people often secure loads. People just need to learn to use what ever they have correctly and as Craig said, recheck them regularly.

    I struggle to tie shoe laces. When I was in the Norfolk Island Volunteer Rescue Squad which mainly trained for cliff rescue, they wouldn't let me near a rope except to abseil down it.

    I’ve squirrelled that bit of info away in case you ever show up to rescue me from a cliff or something. If you dont know knots - tie lots
