Any recommendations for getting pine sap out or off of tarps & treestraps. The stuff is aggrevating enough to get off of the car let alone gear!!

freeze the straps and chip off the tar, same with tarp works well
i do not remember the question, however i believe beer is the answer
Warn the wife before you toss it in the freezer though.
I ride a recumbent.
I like to HAM it up on the CW.
I use Linux.
I play go.
Of course I sleep in a hammock!
Rug.
Hang On!
i was also having similar problems... i was curious if it would harm sil nylon to use alky from my stove to remove the sap while on the trail, anyone know?
I know alcohol based hand sanitizer takes tree sap off your hands pretty well. It might do the same with straps... give it a try and report back!
Try some turpentine...derived from pine sap, actually, so it should work.

SLX denatured alcohol?
second the turpentine
Mineral spirits will do it. So will alcohol based wet wipes. So will Tecnu, which is also good for poison oak/ivy oils - the active ingredient in it is mineral spirits.
Some people use peanut butter or mayo, but that just sounds like rubbing bear bait on gear.
In my trade, I use denatured to remove sap from wood.
Turpentine is good, mineral turps/white spirit will weaken some plastics-probably best avoided.
