Great Fun

This is a great piece of fun, but there are a few improvements I would recommend to the company. This is essentially a 15000 lbs cargo strap with loops on both ends and a logo. Nothing wrong with that, because it works and it is fun. However, the free running end should have some sort of taper or lead to ease its passage through the ratchet. Also, the ratchet should have a bit more length to its end, as it barely fits around trees greater than a foot in diameter. This makes it hard to fit and hard to ratchet down on many trees even in the back yard. Lastly, the bag is crap. I understand the desire to have a lightweight bag so you can put this in a backpack and minimize the burden, but this is too far. The bag fell apart after the second use (the edges and the strap connectors basically disintegrated). I recommend a canvas bag, or much more durable nylon. I know it's heavier, but it would be worth it. This is a great toy though, just make some improvements.
