Darren, I think I'm gonna try a dedicated "ratchet strap" ( because it's easy!) I tried out one today and it worked but a bit clumsily,
Hooks on each end that love to "let go" just at inopportune times and 15 feet of unnecessary strap to deal with are a pain.
Looks like a lot less than it did as 8 ft. logs.
BTW, the ones waiting in the woods will be 10 footers, once winched onto the "arch" I'll get 2 more junks before having to move the log outward. Which , so far, seems easy to do.
