minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•1 day agoI’ve used a twist in the strap and that seems to help a lot.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•1 day agoInteresting. I was under the impression that the vibrations could be a problem if not twisted — apparently it’s a hotly debated topic, who knew! https://dccargo.com/blogs/strap-chat/to-twist-or-not-to-twist-cargo-straps
