I've already got more than a few of those straps. I want small and light. I'm betting at 6-10' that I could coil it up and stuff it in my back pocket. I have a big heavy gear bag for larger vehicle recovery but I'm after a much smaller, lighter bag.
I see what your getting at. I agree for bigger recoveries. I just don't think the width is needed for the commander. Even though they call then tree savers I see them as a rigging point. If I'm out in the middle of the woods and stuck I could give a damn if I scar up a tree a little. My only worry would be if it cuts in bad enough to stick in the tree. I think a couple wraps would solve that problem. Our trees are not very big up here. I am sorry if it looks like I was looking for help from the forum. I posted in the custom splice forum to pose the question to them.
Haha. Some people huh? I think the 3 cords of wood I cut a year hurts the trees more than a strap ever wood and would probably make the folks in the video jump off a damn bridge. Haha.
Haha. I don't plan on putting it in my pocket. Just making the size comparison. I'm still blown away with how light and how much smaller the synthetic line stores. My only worry is the line embedding in the tree. If custom splice thinks its a bad idea I guess I'll be stubborn and buy one of the more expensive ones to try. A man never has enough recovery gear.
Yes I have wrapped my spare line around a tree or two for snatch blocking but there was a sleve on it. No cuts to the tree, but I can see where thicker would be better. I blew the old synthetic line with a snatch block and it diddnt harm the 8 inch tree. I know thats not good on them but I just thought I was in a pinch. That busted winch line put me in a real pinch. Now I have amsteel blue!
