Hey, im not sure if anyone else has tried this, but I have found that the tree huggers that came with my HH were a little too small. So Rather than buy 2 inch strap from the local Surplus store, I went to the Pick and Pull auto dismantling yard and cut seat belts out of a newer car. For a total cost of 3 dollars and about 15 minutes at the sewing machine I came out with 2 eight foot straps.

Just a suggestion for those of us who hike the redwoods, etc.
