Never seen two straps connected like that using a stick, does it ever snap the stick?
I've always interlooped the two straps and used a small stick at the joint so its easier to seperate them.

Here's an illustration:

thanks for pointing out what i had done , wrestling 3 grand kids while i was trying to get this done . Ill repost a proper photo when i get time .

Sure thing, I wasn't sure if that was maybe another way of doing it or not. I saw the picture and thought maybe the picture was from a trail ride or whatnot, not just for this thread.

You can also connect two straps by passing one strap thru the loop of the other then doubling it back to the same vehicle giving you 1.5 the length of the two combined straps.

Never use a power washer on a strap...

Can you explain, I usually power wash the mud off.
