I was looking for a small ratchet tie down to store in my bag for an upcoming trip - mainly to use on the ferry.
I took a walk through Harbor Freight looking for ideas and came across these:
Figure 9 Rope Tightener, Large with Camo Rope, Black Finish
It is the best tie down I have ever used. I added a velcro loop to secure the rope and it is a very compact, light and and secure to carry around.
(I recommend buying a pack of Velcro cable ties... they are immensely useful to have around the house - link HERE)
Manufacturer page here: Figure 9 Large (I bought the one that includes the 10ft of camo rope)
I regret not buying a couple more to keep in the cars and garage. I will be buying more next time I go but probably will go with the smaller size. MEC has a 4 pack of the "small" size with 4x8ft rope for $11 CAD -
Nite Ize Figure 9 Tent Line Kit
Nite Ize seems to be a pretty popular brand out there - shouldn't be hard to find at an outdoor supply store, amazon, etc.
