Now that I've got a shiny new winch to go play with, I was wanting to get a tree protector strap or two ... So I looked on the Damar site and saw this:
But surely I don't need something with a hook on? Can I not get away with a short-ish tow (not kinetic) strap, say 3 - 4 metres or so, with two sturdy eyes (one at each end) and use that? It could double up as a bridle if needed - and maybe a 5 metre one as well? I 'think' they might custom make me a couple with some cladding in the middle to prevent chafe (oo-er, missus
)
What benefit does the hook give - seems to push the price up quite a bit??
Any thoughts, suggestions??
Thanks
