I appreciate your comment. I learned a lot while I was doing it. Thanks for the kind words!

That’s good to know. I haven’t noticed a problem without the twist, but I never really paid close attention. I’ve been watching semi trucks lately and I have not seen any using the half twist and their straps aren’t flapping. Maybe it something to do with the size of strap. I’ve heard both sides of the debate so I think a test is in order.

I know it’s hard, Mike. But you know the old saying, variety is the spice of life! You should never run low on options so stop complaining and start daisy chaining! See what I did there?

@WaynePolcin yeah, yeah.

I’ve been doing this for many years. I didn’t think it was good enough to share in a video, but maybe I was wrong about that. Thanks Terry. Much love and kindness to you!

I don’t know why I didn’t mention this in my other ratchet strap video. I’m always looking for a better way to do things, but in this case, I like my way best. It’s pretty universal and doesn’t depend on the hook type, etc. Great to hear from you, moofdogg! Take care!

I’ve been doing it for years and I never thought it was the best way to store them, until I tried all the other methods I saw on the internet. I kept coming back to this way. The more you do it, the better and faster you get. It works for me.

The first time I tried it, I wasn’t sure I would keep doing it, but after several years, it’s still my preferred way of doing it. You get faster at it the more you do it. Peace and love to you!

@@WaynePolcin Love back, to you and Suzie, and the critters

Good way to keep them from tangling up 😊 You are so organized 😎

@tamiduda4660 Organized? Don’t be fooled by what you saw in the video. My desk is a mess. My basement is in disarray and my head is a natural disaster. 😜

@WaynePolcin 😄😄😄

That's a great tip. I'll go out and get one. As for now, I'm just propping it open with block of wood.

The Humane Society would not let me adopt a Great Pyrenees because I told them I planned on keeping him outdoors. They told me that their policy states all dogs must be kept indoors with a one hour outdoor period per day. I told them they were out of touch with the truth. Maverick is genetically dispositioned to be an outdoor dog. They had no idea that I was the type of dog owner that would give the best care to my companion, even as an outdoor dog. He loves the outdoors and when we open the front door of our house, he just stands there, with no desire to come in. Much love and blessing to you and Sue!

These are the times when, “it’s a dogs life” can be taken literally to mean there’s nothing better than life as Maverick! Do well today my friend!

Thanks Angie. I tell him you said that, haha! I hope you’re healing well!

@@WaynePolcin Thanks Wayne. I get to spend the day at the VA doing follow up and getting poked and prodded and give blood samples to the vampires. I'm healing ok but I'm ready for my life to go back to normal LOL

He has earned special treatment. I guess that’s why they call him a “Great” Pyrenees, 😆.

Shadow might be a good nickname for him because he is with me wherever I go. The humane society wouldn’t let me adopt a Great Pyrenees because I wanted an outside dog. Their policy is that dogs must be kept indoors except for one hour per day. Go figure!

He’s bred to endure the cold for sure. This is more of an experiment on my part and a chance to put out more TH-cam content, 🤣. The plastic feels like it’s gonna hold up. I was impressed when I unpackaged it. It should be for $52! I am not looking forward to the cold morning. At least it held off until the middle of November. Take care my friend!

Yeah, even though he’s genetically fit to survive the outdoors in the winter, I just felt like he deserves royal treatment for being such a good dog, hahaha!

Yeah, I feel much better now that he has shelter from the cold wind. And the clear tarps letting the sun in should make it cozy for a Great Pyrenees. Time will tell.

Is it morning? I must be dreaming that I’m wide awake at 10:15 pm. Great to hear from you my friend!

Yep. It’s not a task I look forward to doing so anything to make it easier is always welcomed. Thanks for your kind feedback.

Okay! You got me rolling on the floor with gut wrenching laughter 😆 Thanks!

Hey, hey, Angie K! I know you’ve been in recovery mode. I hope you’re getting closer to a full recovery. I always look forward your comments. Stay strong and get Weller!

He stays on the property, but when I can’t see him, I get nervous. He’s still a puppy and prone to distractions from things like squirrels and such. I don’t like to take chances.

Nice to see you and Maverick getting some fall work done....winter is coming soon! Nice knots too 😊😊

@tamiduda4660 the weather has been unbelievable to this point. We got our first rain in three weeks today. Spring and fall are my favorite times of year so whenever I get extra days I feel like I’m in heaven. I hope you’re well and all prepared for winter!

I have a plan to show some projects made from wood taken from the property. That will be coming in a future video.

@WaynePolcin I can't see you splitting all your fire wood with a double blade axe, so I thought you might illustrate some of your techniques. Oh, yeah, that's a nice dog run you put up for Maverick

Yes. That’s my bad. I forgot to tell my viewers to turn that regulator back on. Great observation. Thanks for your feedback!

Yep. I was disappointed with that issue too. Another sub said he put the original clutch cover back on so he could keep the captive nuts. But you would have to leave the outer dawg off to do that. I think the double dawgs give so much more control that it’s worth losing the captivity. Thanks for the feedback!

Well, I never expected an honor such as that. That is awesome. Thank you for the kind feedback! Can you tell me where your school is located? If you’d prefer privacy, you can email me at wpolcin@gmail.com.

@@mikefriend4150 you mean click bait.

Yeah, I have about 10 of those screws, but wire nuts are cheap. I already have two of them done and I just keep using those two until I get frustrated enough to take the time to do the rest. Suz-the-Q sends a howdy to you!

O c’mon, Tami, you know better. Have I ever taken the easy and practical approach to doing anything? After all, Ralph Albert was my idol!

@WaynePolcin 😂😂😂 With Ralph Albert as an Idol...your family and friends will always be surprised at the inventions you come up with😁 Let the creativity flow 😎

I don’t know about genius, definitely off label. This is the second time I’ve had to fix GoPro engineering screwups.

I thought you might get a kick out of the blooper.

I don’t know either. I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

That's the way it goes in most cases. We always used to say, it takes a college degree to break it and high school GED to fix it. Go figure. BTW, we're trying the peppermint soaked cotton ball trick in the camper.

Actually, I did a similar thing a few months ago and didn’t think to publish it, but yesterday, I ran into the same problem again and took it as a hint that maybe I should make it a video. Cousin Eddie is more like me than I am. Good to hear from you my friend!

I couldn’t pass up this blooper. It was too spontaneously funny to me and totally messed up.

Your welcome. Thank you for the positive feedback!

Just note of caution. Since the shooting of that video, Endurance Lights, evidently, went through a hostile takeover and the new company has allowed the products to decline in quality and support. I no longer endorse the product as I did then. There are many similar alternatives available. Good luck to you. Thanks for the kind feedback!

Well, it didn’t hurt that the pole was semi rotted. I’m glad it snapped there instead of after putting in the ground!

I’m glad you liked it. Thanks for the kind words!
