ABOUT YOUR ANCHOR STRAP
Anchor straps, often referred to as 'tree straps', are most commonly used to wrap around a winch anchor point so one can then attach a winch line to aid in vehicle recovery. A winch anchor point is most commonly a tree or rock.

ANCHOR STRAP USE INFORMATION
Each anchor strap is 100% manufactured in the USA of polyester to provide for lower stretch during winching, and comes with Cordura abrasion guard on both the eyes and the inner body.
Before using a C4RS anchor strap, sometimes referred to as an 'anchor strap', inspect the strap for any wear that requires the strap to be retired. Such wear can include any cuts to the webbing, burns, contamination from fluids, wear areas, or broken stitching.
When using an anchor strap, wrap the strap around a suitable, stable anchor point which could be a tree, rock, or other suitable anchor. The rounder and smoother the anchor point, the less wear on the strap during recoveries. Most anchor points are not smooth, so the Cordura on the inside of the strap helps to reduce abrasion, but still take care to mitigate any anchors that are not smooth.
- Anchor straps should be used on as smooth & round surfaces as possible.
- Do not place anchor straps around sharp or angular objects.
- Not for lifting use or use during any life saving operations.
- Do not exceed the WLL.
