      thats because these days every youtuber is a 'content creator' who wants money from yt instead of starting their own business or getting a job. So you instead see a bunch of assholes e-begging before each video. This guy has money, a house, a car, and a job. He doesn't need to ask for money except maybe for donations to buy shit to review/destroy to see what's best. Even then, he leaves it in the description if people want to contribute and doesnt mention it. The links there if you want to give him money. People should learn from that

Their live graph of the torque for comparison is an incredible feature. The static graphs already featured on this channel are nice, but it would be nice if a similar feature could be incorporated in some of the tests. It's so much easier to keep track of all of the characteristics during the tests.

      I use a lazy method since it has to be easy or I won't do it at all lol... (but doing nothing obviously sucks more since you have a rats nest next time you need them). I have tried many ways and this is what actually works for slob like me. My method: 1. straps separate from ratchets. 2. Take strap and fold once in the middle. 3. Fold once more in the middle of that, but around something like a bungee against a wall.. or in my case a roll bar. 4. Lay the ends of the strap where you can get your hand on the hook end easily (it will pull out without issues when needed from just the hook, which I can find without looking). 5. ratchets all hung from an eye -bolt. Both the ratchets and strap hook ends within reach of the back window of my rig. When needed I reach in and grab one ratchet and one hook and what I need is instantly out of the rig and untangled, (I carry 4-6 usually). This works even if everything elseback there has become chaos. Not as good at space management as the method Project Farm used.. but if I can get myself to organize *at all* it is a miracle.. and I can handle this much prep 90% of the time. (Also the 3 parts of the strap I don't need access to I can lay in another direction into a harder to get to area and free up space that way if I am feeling frisky).

      Guess it makes sense that they'd stretch under load. So when you recinch the straps tight, you're taking up the slack that was generated by the straps stretching. Eventually, they'd hit their stretch limit, and then they'd be secure.
