ratchet straps

I did the "mud" thing and it worked well.

 

That's what I do. Find a pond or creek and lay them in some mud. Step on them and pull them through the mud.

 

tractor supply has them reasonable priced in camo

 

Sportsmansguide.com has good prices on ratchet straps.

 

Check out Matrix Concepts Racing Products | 1.7 Cleaning Solutions Its an off road company but they have almost a 2 inch wide ratcheting strap that works great and they're basically all black. They're not a cheap $10 set of ties but you get what you pay for as usual. They have a 1400lb test strength so you wont find your self on the ground due to a strap breaking or weathering..

 

Dye them, with Rid I think thats the Name of the Dye. But Really Red shouldn't be that big of a Deal. I have aFew Red, and the Fad out pretty Quick,

 

some great advice so far! just make sure these straps are still serviceable!! spend the extra $$ to be sure! I replace mine every year about 50$ worth of the $4.00 home depot 300 pounders. better safe then sorry!
