    But as you say, if the straps were sufficiently long, you sure can hang from those and the CL by themselves.

    Good luck .
    This guy has it. I'm using longer tree straps to get around girthy trees so would need a cord of some variable length to make due for the distance between the big trees. Right now I'm thinking 10ft kevlar tree straps and 5ft of mule tape.
