If one can expect certain conditions these appurtenances may not be
the best choice. However, in transient situations they certainly can

The fender line devices are handy, but, IMO, a Clove Hitch is just as fast
and adjustable.
Personally, I don't do it like in the pictures attached. I tie them to the

Off to Home Depot now to practice.
Going to buy some drywall and planks to tie to the top of my car.
Hope I make it back.
