Idea for dealing with fat trees

[-Sawg]

Got it! Larks head the dogbone on the tree strap loop, now your tree strap is extended. Genius.

If you were using a whoopie sling larksheaded onto one end of the tree hugger that would work also right? Bacall the whoopie sling itself would close the gap where the strap doesn't reach. Does that make sense?

Anyone can fine a couple trees that will challenge them...or their suspension system.

However... Single strap users will have a simpler, less parts, greater flexibility for tree diameter, and in most cases a lighter rig for any set total distance comparison, and easier use ,especially when the tree circumference is greater than one can reach around... one simply walks the running end around the tree and comes back to the Tri-Glide, Dutch buckle or cinch buckle...

I ran into that recently. Luckily I had some spare whoopie slings. Lark-headed the fixed end to the strap loop, then ran the non-looped end through the adjustable loop on the whoopie. Worked great.

I have 50 ft Dutch strap extenders (50 ft roll of webbing) that I can use to extend my straps with a water knot. I have a tree I want to hang from that will need most of it.

Look into an steel dogbones to extend the tree straps.. I used them over the past weekend for some fat trees.

((( Steel ))) really? isn't that kind of heavy and could possibly harm the tree?
