    This equalizer is a new fad must have gizmo being marketed. Why not use a tree trunk protector if you have one and multi task an item, equals carrying less gear IMO

    Was just about to make this point.. friction is a huge killer of poly straps.

    Also imo if using a bridle strap you would want it at least 6m long. If using a 3m strap they would near be pulling in a 90 degree angle (45 a side from the car) which basically slashes the straps weight capability by around 30% from memory.
    To keep your straps capacity at its best you need as straight as possible.. so if you can use a 6m strap your angle would be greatly reduced and capacity increased..
