    My new AHE Straps are just a little too short

    Just got back from four day backpack trip to the Dinkey Lakes Wilderness and noticed my 6 ft tree huggers were just a little too short.
    I'll post a link to some photos and a trip report when I get them all uploaded. Had a great time.

    I can see how that might be a problem. Can't wait for the trip report!

    My webbing comes in 100 yard rolls, I can get you some straps made that will work.

    Wow, there's nothing "dinky" about Dinkey Lakes Wilderness. Looking forward to your pics!

    That's a picture of a sequoia... ain't any of those in Dinkey Lakes. Someone took a side trip to nearby McKinley Grove.

    But there are some pretty darn big sugar pines almost as big....

    Warbonnet straps are just... long... enough... to go round some of the smaller sugar pines at Dinkey...

    Watch your head out there in the Sugar Pines! Foresters don't wear hard hats for fashion! (Well, we do, but that's beside the point)

    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
