What holds the log loads secured are called wrapper because as the term implies they are wrapped around the logs. They are to start with a cable and they have about a 2 foot piece of chain on each end. The wrappers are tossed over the load of logs and then you grab one end and bring it under the load and you hook a chain binder to it and the hook the other end of the binder to the other end and you grab your cheater bar and cinch it down. A regular load requires 3 wrappers but up here in the Northwest they started putting more axles on so now most loads require 4 wrappers.....I made my wrappers from picture frame hanging wire and used some small chain on the ends and crimped them together with some small metal jewelry connecting ends, the kind you can crimp together.... I got my working chain binders from KFS out of England. Hope that helps
