CoHo,
We are sorry to hear that rigging the CamJam Tie Down Strap was a hassle to use. We would encourage you to watch the video, https://youtu.be/PbM4EJkhep8, we produced that shows the rigging combinations. If you have further questions, please contact Nite Ize customer service at info@niteize.com or from 8-5 M-F MST at 800.678.6483.
