Mule straps

[Ben Guss]

Thanks for the thoughts. Seems most here are against the mule strap idea.
My 13' poly straps are heavy, and I saw this as a means to help lighten the load...

13 feet?!?! You can probably get away with 8 feet total!

Speaking of which, it's probably possible to use a tapered webbing sling. Since the back of the tree has more forces put on it then the front. (I think, correct me if I'm wrong).

I pack a six and a four poly 1". Sometime a six and a ten, which doubles as a dog lead.
Come to think of it, I should tie the 6&4 together to use as the dog lead.

I made a set of 6' mule tape straps for my seven year old, she weighs nothing.

Thank you for reconsidering the mule tape. Those Harbor Freight straps are worth a look, they are crazy light compared to some other straps I have.

Thank you all for the thoughts! Redoleary- Harbor Freight carries many traps, which ones are you talking about? Thanks again,

Probably these ones that he referred to earlier. Now only if I can find some in a different color....

Red: Would you say they are lighter or heavier than the tree straps Dutch carries?

THESE ONES.

I couldn't say, I'm not familiar with the dutch straps. I'll weigh one of my HF straps and report back.

I just weighed one, minus the steel buckle, the 12' strap weighs 1.95oz/56g. Again that weight is not including the steel buckle thing.
