    Went out today to put up my millennium m50 and that strap wasn't long enough to go around the tree. Now I know the obvious answe is to find another tree but this was the best tree for the setup. So my question is ,is there a away for me to hang it on the tree with the quick connect that uses the bolt to lock it around? Or am I just out of luck? Thanks !

    Doesn't your auto parts store carry 15 ft ratchet straps?

    Yea , but the straps are made where the bolts slide through them to lock it in. Tried using ratchet strap and not enough gap to hook through it. I'll go look and see what I can find , just wanted to see if I wasn't thinking of something that Someome else knew.

    Or even an S-link to buy you room for a ratchet strap.

    Just cut the hook off the ratchet strap and put the bolt thru the loop in the strap. That's what I would do.
