To be honest it is better than expected. It's strong and straps stick to the tree well, stay in place. I like the improvements with new elastic band in comparison to rubber bands before and staps'cover. I need to learn more how to pack better everything together but so far love it ❤️ It does not hurting smaller trees however from larger diameter straps may slip a little. Great quality, very competitive price on the market for the quality. Would you consider make longer version in future? And can you connect two straps for longer span between tree?
