How to tie a 205 litre drum to your ute safely
If you have ever wondered the correct way to tie down a 205 litre drum with a ratchet strap, I have finally found it. It Is actually quite simple.
Pull the strap over the drum then wrap it around before hooking it back though itself creating a slip knot of sorts. You will need a longer strap or two straps
but it works.
You are welcome. Please do not ask what a 205 litre drum of John Deere HyGuard oil costs.
