Cargo securing for the economically minded

Third chapter in the series how NOT to do things. Watch out for the weakest link.

To left a picture of an other way to attach a strap to the cant rail. It has an advantage as you may easily move it to correct location. But what happens when years go by and some wear takes place? And if you don’t move it when you should? The breaking strength is hardly what it was when new and becomes the weakest link.
Here some other “brilliant” ways how not to do.
