Backband Ratchet Slip Hack "How To" 

Great idea and your choice of the para cord over the other methods makes better sense. Well done

Hey Wade - I did the same thing by heating the non-cutting end of the drill bit with the blowtorch until just glowing. Push this through the end of the ratchet strap and you have no clean-up afterwards. Works really well and the result is a 'life-changer' 😉

I was going to put a nut and bolt in mine, but this is much simpler.

Perfect hack I was looking for!! Thanks man!!

Thanks , the slippage happens a lot in my Machno

Hey Wade, this method doubles as a fast adjuster a bit like the cords in a Jackson kayak. Good job!

Wade, I have become a fan boy for your Pryanha outfitting mods videos! Any ideas for adding some padding to the cockpit rim for carrying the boats? Other than the usual foam and gorilla tape.

Genius!

First thing I have to say is nice rollplay at the beginning you should thing about a career😅😉. Second, in my opinion I don't need this "hack". I mean I get it sometimes the ratchet gets out but its so rare and eveb if it happens I just put it in again in idk probably about less then 10 seconds so for me its just nonsense but feel free if anyone wants to do it.

Wow. I've been pondering this question for years. 😂 Problem solved. Thanks!!!

I lent my boat to a buddy and both straps had been pulled out so I used your "bend the straps " method today coincidently and it worked like a charm, however, after seeing this I'll be upgrading tomorrow... Thank you for posting this yak hack!

Very nice simple upgrade from the bolts I had been using. Prefer this as can double up same as Jackson rope system as others mentioned.

Great tip. After watching your video I went and did the same thing to mine. It took me less than 15 minutes. Thanks.

Great hack man! Have you found them do that more on one brand vs another?? Haven’t had them come out yet in the code but will have to do that just in case! Thanks man!

Great hack!

Knives and torches, what could go wrong😆 would like to see leg lifter build

Yes sir ! I fixed that at the ramp after the first paddle trip popped a zip tie through the hole I drilled been good to go

Can you do a video (if you haven't already) how to outfit a pyrahna to make it comfortable and solid? I've struggled with mine. My Jackson and dagger boats don't have the comfort issues

Nice work Wade. I’ve only encountered this issue with Pyranha boats. Simple solutions are usually the best solutions.
