Tensioning tie down apparatus

A tensioning tie down apparatus for tying down an object through tension, the apparatus comprising:

• a securing member, the securing member having a first securing member end, a first securing member loop formed in the first securing member end, a second securing member end and a second securing member loop formed in the second securing member end;
• at least one tensioning member including:
• a base;
• a plurality of apertures in the base, the plurality of apertures configured to enable passage of the securing member, the first securing member loop of the securing member extending through one of the plurality of apertures;
• a generally elongated extension member extending from the base;
• a curved mounting member extending from the extension member;
• a mounting gap between the mounting member and the extension member on a first side of the extension member, the mounting gap configured to enable passage of the securing member;
• a base shaft extending from the base in spaced-apart relationship to the extension member;
• and
• a base gap between the base shaft and the extension member on a second side of the extension member, the base gap configured to enable passage of the securing member and the second securing member loop of the securing member extending through the base gap and detachably engaging the base shaft;
• a securing member lock having a plurality of securing member openings, and wherein a first securing member extends through a first one of the plurality of securing member openings, and further comprising a second securing member extending through at least a second one of the plurality of securing member openings;
• and
• wherein passage of the securing member through at least one of the plurality of apertures, the mounting gap, and the base gap at least partially generates tension on the securing member.
