time saving in portage

I went for a walk tonight. I learned something from one of the local residents here - even if you have NOTHING to tie down something with (say, oh I don't know, a ladder), you can still transport it with your vehicle. All you have to do is lay it across the top of your car and stick your arm out the window and hold it down. Nope, no rope or tie downs needed.

To think of all the time Steven and I have wasted by needlessly securing things into trailers and vehicles over the years. Just think of all the stuff we could hold down onto the top of our van once our kids are older and have longer arms!

sounds like Cambodia...if you are the passenger on the motto, you can secure a bundle of rebar...sometimes it might even be the driver securing the rebar. oh, i miss that place.

I have seen people saran wrap items to the top of their car! Seriously, they lay the item on the roof, roll down the windows of the car and wrap all the way around!! Looks crazy, and probably takes a few rolls to do, but apparently it works amazingly well.
