Tow straps are much longer than a tree saver. Ideally you do not want to wrap a strap all the way around a tree or several times around a tree . The twisting motion of the strap as it tightens up will destroy the cambium layer of the tree
I think sliding is more a concern, but that's a good point I hadn't thought about. Good to know, I will add a few tree savers to my collection.
BTW- HF has straps and tree savers. Yes, it's HF, and so obviously crap, yadayadayada .. but it probably comes out of the same factory, and it's hard to screw up a strap. I've done some pretty good pulls with mine and have no issues with them.
