Tree strap for harness?

The tree I have my hang-on stand on is too big to fit the tree-strap for my harness. Pretty sure my ratchet straps are 8', and they made it around. Anyways, what is the work around here? I feel a little more "at-ease" when I'm strapped in. I saw Hunters Specialties has a Rope-Style Tree Strap, is that my only option?

Hard to picture but - All I use is a good rope with a loop in one end with a separate thinner rope attached to the main rope using a pruissic knot. I run a strong caribiner from the harness to the loop end of the pruissic knot.

You could make the longer rope that goes around the tree as long as you need to in order to get around the tree.

Summit packaged with their climbers a few years ago. Not sure about today.

Way better that the straps. Google it. There are some youtube vids.

If you do go that option, I don't think you'll be disappointed. I've had one of those new in the package for a few years but just took it out this year for the first time due to one stand set up that made me a little nervous. I liked it a lot and will continue to use it more frequently, maybe even buy another so I can leave it hanging at each stand for the weekend.

Gopher_nation,

It's actually an HSS Lifeline that I'm using. Hunter Specialties didn't quite ring true for me on that so I looked it up. It's from Hunter's Safety Systems and costs about $40.

What the others are telling you will work fine too and be less expensive but I'm thinking its worth $40 to keep me safe all the way up and down the tree. The line is 30 ft long and the stand I referred to that made me nervous uses just about the whole length. eek

The primary trail I'm watching from that stand shows up on my range finder as being at a 43 degree angle and at 13 yards but aim for 20.

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
