    Hanging Straps Length

    If I order my own strapping material, How long would you all reccomend, including waste. I go to the GSMNP so big trees might be in the future. Thanks

    I think the camo polyester webbing from owfinc is pretty popular, as well as the polyester seatbelt webbing from strapworks.

    If using HH wrap or Speer 4 wrap 12 feet is pretty standard.... using cinch buckles or JRB Tri-glides.... the equivelent is 10 feet each end.

    GrizzlyAdams has a few pictures with the camo webbing in his gallery if you want to get an idea what it looks like. Here is one.

    Dancer and I both use 12' of black 1" polyester webbing on each end from StrapWorks. Works for us.
