5M Tree Trunk Protector Strap by Carbon Offroad Using a tree as an anchor point is part of real-world recoveries. But how you do it matters. Wrap a winch rope or chain straight around a trunk and you’ll damage the tree and your gear in one go. It’s a quick way to cut bark, shorten the life of your rope, and cause issues on tracks we all rely on staying open. The Carbon Offroad Tree Trunk Protector Strap is designed to do the job properly. It spreads the load across a wide surface area, protects the tree, and shields your winch rope from abrasion. Simple, effective, and something every recovery kit should have. Built with a 12,000kg minimum breaking strain, this is a proper rigging strap made for winching, not towing. It’s designed to handle the forces involved when a vehicle is properly stuck, giving you a solid and reliable anchor point when you need it most. Why this strap matters A tree trunk protector isn’t just about protecting the environment, although that’s a big part of it. It also protects your winch rope from rough bark and sharp edges that can cause premature wear or failure. The wide design spreads the load evenly, reducing pressure on the tree while improving grip and stability around the trunk. It also helps prevent the strap from digging in or slipping under load.
