fourteen heavy duty 27' long 2" wide tow straps with 3,333 lb. working load ... several 12" demolition saw blades and three 12" wood pruning blades ... four one-inch 40' pvc pipes ... 150' of 60 lb. fishing line ... three packs of 100" polyester orange rope ... I forgot a throw bag but can fill another gatorade empty bottle with water -those work just as well... picking up a hardhat tomorrow as well as a tree felling wedge holster tomorrow ... a wedge will always be on me and never left in the truck out of reach at critical times
bought two of these tow straps a while back ... tested the straps last weekend - did a cold snatch from a tree with the other end on my truck in 4x4 HI gear and they took the punishment very well ... were on sale for eight something plus tax ... that is al least 2/3 cheaper that the Tanaka's I bought several months ago and are only 3' shorter ... will be so useful because I won't have to drive my truck deep into the woods in order to drag a log down to the front property by the road or compromise time by having to disconnect, untie and separate, seek another standing tree that is closer in order to drag the one on the ground... one thing, I will have to cut through galvanized weld to remove the Double J-Hooks from the tow straps ... I don't work with metal on these tow straps for safety reasons --- >>> if something pops loose, I don't want a piece of hardware flying through the back window of the truck
This is the most physcally exhausting work I have ever done but I have a strong commitment. Someday, I will never have to gather pine stuff and haul away. No joke - war on pine trees is hell!
