I've been using ENO slapstraps Pro at 3/4" and been getting around to switching to something bigger and less nylon.
I had been thinking of doing a 2"/1" combo where the 2" would take the bulk of the weight on the tree and then be sewn to 1 straps on each end for lighter straps and hardware options.
I wanted to go with the bigger strap size based upon the threads i had seen where people said they couldn't hang with smaller than 1.5 or 2" straps and better safety for the tree. But in this thread only one person has said small widths weren't allowed and implied the doubling (tripling) fixed that.
As for tree safety its not something i have seen, but i haven't been hanging long- is this truely a prob with 1" straps, especially in the northeast?
I hadn't pulled the trigger yet because i hadn't worked out how long i wanted each section to be (a 3 foot 2" section is good for 1 foot trees, doesn't give protection to larger trees; a 6 foot 2" section would have the 2" section running thru the end hardware/loop). If i don't need to worry about the different lengths, so much the better and it would allow me to go ahead and get the straps my cold wet backside needs...
.... well, after figuring what length i want 6', 9', 12'.... 24'?!?.. dammit
