    If you go to walmart, in the camping section next to the tarps, they have a 2-pack of 15 foot ratchet straps for $10. 1800 lb breaking strength. 1" polyester I think.

    It's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    Formerly known as Acercanto, my trail name is MacGuyver to some, and Pucker Factor to others.

    It's not procrastinating, its proactively delaying the implementation of the energy-intensive phase of the project until the enthusiasm factor is at its maximum effectiveness. - Randy Glasbergen

    Albert, I've purchased a similar product as this, muletape. Works fine for me. There are several sources on the web.
    Holds a knot okay, but some has a slick lubricant.

    I have these and the hardest part was cutting the hooks off of the ends. I think they are depleted uranium or some similarly hard stuff. But the straps work great.
    If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable.

    And Pauls are ridiculously light weight. I like these better than most other's I have or have used.

    Thanks, but I'm looking for the breaking strength that I posted (neither stronger, nor weaker).

    Thanks, do you happen to the weight for a given length?

    I use these:

    http://www.autozone.com/autozone/cat...dName=Highland

    they say 300 pound capacity, with a breaking point three times that which would be 900 pounds.
