RotopaX PaX 8 Foot Tree Saver Strap — Winch Anchor and Short Tow Strap (3" Wide)

Key Features

• 8-foot x 3-inch flat strap — primary function as a tree saver for winch recoveries; secondary function as a shorter static tow and anchor strap
• Wraps wide and flat around tree trunks to distribute winch load across a larger surface area — protects the tree and the surrounding bark from cable or hook damage
• 8-foot length accommodates most usable trees with enough remaining strap for shackle or winch hook attachment at both looped ends
• 3-inch width provides substantial load-bearing surface for high-tension winch recovery use
• Doubles as a short static tow strap for close-range pulls, bumper-to-bumper connections, or short anchor setups
• Static construction — no stretch or energy storage; designed for controlled steady-pull applications only
• Included in the RotopaX PaX Recovery Gear Kit and available separately as a standalone strap

Dimensions

• Length: 8 feet
• Width: 3 inches

What's Included

• One 8 Foot x 3 Inch Tree Saver / Flat Strap

Important Notes

• This is a STATIC strap — it must NOT be used as a kinetic pull strap; use a purpose-built kinetic rope for kinetic recovery applications
• Always use a tree saver strap when anchoring to trees — running a winch cable or hook directly around a tree trunk causes damage and is prohibited in many trail systems
• Inspect before each use — retire and replace if the strap shows signs of fraying, cuts, UV degradation, or structural damage
