Very good video. Its from the field and where it should be from. Good hands on, good stuff. In case you have no spider, 4 short bungee work perfect. After you cam lock, use bungee from sliced angles not hooked straight up and down or straight across. Four short ones work best. Here is how they work best that I found: as you face the tire to chain up... Hook at 9 and the other end of the same bungee goes to 1. Hook the second bungee at 12 (top center) the other end goes to 4. Hook the third bungee at 3 and the other end at 7. The fourth bungee hook at 6 and the the other end at 10. I tend to have more uses for bungee straps like brooms, loadjacks and just overall bundling things. I dont have multiple uses for spiders. One broken leg on the spider and it kinda defeats the idea. Easy to find a short bungee though. Here is what happens on the clock system with the short bungee (12 in.): if one hook pops out, the hook next to it pulls directly in the opposite direction. Clock system does not pull all the slack to one place like a spider...to the center. With bungee Each one is separate and independent while not totally dependent on the other. Believe it or or not there are way fewer snags, less long distance wave and flipping out verses going through the center for overall tension. that is also the reason for using short bungees. spiders, long bungee and pulling to the center creates long air space between hooked ends creating flop and loss of cords. Cleaner and safer and yet to lose a chain.

Good Job! I've been driving 28 years. I Drive from Baker City, Oregon to the Portland area and back every (work) day. Sometimes chaining up 3 times a day. This video is right on. The only exception is if you're on a hill (going up) you need to let it roll back and hook from the front side so you don't spin the tires and throw the chains off. I've never used those orange things though..

I been driving 17 years I have NEVER chained up except showing rookies how to do it,it’s always good to practice,thanks for the video,best video I have seen so far because everyone wants to talk you showed it exactly how to do it
