Cam Buckle vs Rachet style help
I have been using the pain in the butt to me rachet style straps for years. I just bought the cam style straps are these
safe for tree stand hunting? I bought them because what seems ease of use.
Thanks,

If your talking about the cams that have the floating knurled rod in them, i think its ok but if your refering to the spring loaded push button cams then there is no way i would do that. make sure, we dont want to loose our bartender

It always seems to happen to me that I leave a few stands up a little longer than I'd like, and when I go to retrieve them, ratchet straps seem easier to remove than the knurled rod type cam straps. Maybe it's just me though...

Peak those are the push button type. I would not trust them for a stand. My brother in law was hauling home a brand new big screen tv held in place with that kind. He rounded the first cuve slowly and they let go..the Tv ended up on the ground [X(]JMO!!

Take them back. The hooks really suck, if anything get the straps that are endless(no hooks). I just use the straps that come with my Lone Wolf, cam style not the ratchet type, never had a problem!
