Not an alpine climbing tip, but I bet you sometimes strap things on the top of your car or a truck bed using cam straps.

Here’s a slick way to keep ‘em tidy and tangled free.

  • If you think this is too much fiddling around, doing a daisy chain for extra long straps is another good option.

  • Pro tip, if you use a lot of cam straps (like I do when I’m whitewater rafting) get different colored straps for the standard lengths, typically 4’, 6’, and 8’.


Here's a nice video showing the method.
