I would have to totally agree with Phil even though I've never used cam straps. Rope sucks. It worked because we really cranked down on the rope, tightly, with good knots, plus a roof rack. Otherwise, from how user friendly they sound, I would SO rather have used cam straps. Rope was pretty much a nightmare especially at the end of BM, so tired, SO dirty, and getting dark at night. F'ing hated that part. And your hands get sore from cranking down knots, especially if you suck at them like I do.
