Tiedown "winch" device

Helen, thanks for the tip. I think I found the right term for those
tiedowns: "ratchet".

That's one type.

I just bought tiedowns for other purposes at Home Depot. I would recommend that
you AVOID the "Workforce" brand. In fact, this is one time you might want to buy
only from an aviation supplier (or perhaps a motorcycle dealer) -- there's a lot
of trash out there.

Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry,
and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.

Good point,

One thing you want to watch out for is cheap webbing. Make sure you get
Nylon or Rayon. Most anything else, polypropylene in particular, will get
sunrot in short order and it isn't always easy to tell until it breaks.
