[Shop-talk] Storing tie-downs

[Nolan]

Ratchet straps get stored by bundling.  I run the strap through the ratchet 
about half way, then wrap the strap around the ratchet, encasing the short 
stub strap that is attached to the ratchet.  Once it's all wrapped, I pop a 
rubber band around it all.  I carry about 8 this way in the truck at any one 
time.  Very easy to grab and use.

Bungies I carry hooked to the seat springs on the back of the bench seat, if 
possible.  One of these days I might get around to making a little mounting 
card for them out of some pegboard material or such.  Again, very easy to 
grab and use.

The bed cover net gets wadded into its storage pouch.  Some day I'll 
actually get around to marking the corners of the net so I can position it 
correctly from the get go when I actually use it.
