Adding to what kwinter said, there's also a technique that is a lot easier to show than describe.
When it's wet, reasonably tight and under tension:
- keep pulling on the strap end while "rocking" the buckle a few times. This incrementally tightens it even more.
- then like kwinter said, keeping tension with the cam buckle position (partly closed), thread through the last slot, and
- then close by pulling on the end of the strap to maximize leverage.
That's the procedure I was talking about, but it included the "rocking" which I usually omit.
