i'm getting all my gear in order for the up coming hunt and i'm short on ratchet straps that hold the tree stick steps to the tree. i could really use about 12 of these if anyone could loan them to me for the hunt and i'll send them right back after the hunt. i will also pay shipping, i appreciate any thing you can do, thanks,

I found some at a dollar store that work really great for tree sticks. They have a smaller load rating than the really good ones but are just perfect for me @235#.

OK Brother.....This is new ground for me LOL

I haven't the foggiest idea what a "tree-stick" ratchet strap looks like.

Give me some idea of what size (long,wide,thick,etc.) I need to look for and I'll start huntin'!!!!!
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

Ken,

They also sell "Cam lock" straps at W*lM*rt. Would these work for you?
Cam locks come in shorter lengths (6') and are much lighter.

I think Ken can probably afford his own ratchet straps.

Jeff,
     thanks for the kind offer but i bought more last night at Wallmart. my whole idea of this hunt was that anyone who came up to hunt would only need to buy a NY license, i will supply everything else. the dollor store did not have any and there is not a BJ's anywhere near me and i was hoping to get all stands in place today and next week so Wally World it was.
