I am just thinking out loud here, but my idea for the lightest tree straps possible is this:
Dyneema braided fishing line in multiple lengths, passed through the holes in some 2" strips of Correx floor protector (the corrugated plastic sheeting for protecting floors on building sites).
This would keep the multiple lengths seperated, in order to spread the force.
The multiple lengths could be tied at either end to two small dyneema loops.
20 kg b/s line would need 25 passes for a 500 kg breaking strain, minus the losses for the knots
The correx is really lightweight and tough and may just be able to do the job.
Is this madness , or could it be a practical way to save a chunk of weight off tree straps?
