Hawk Tactical Tree Hook for $5. Super light, simpler than straps with hooks, and with the mini-caribiner holder, it it always on my pack and ready to use. I use it to hang my pack, gun/bow, and rangefinder on a single hook.

Screw in anything is illegal in MN so I use a shotgun shell bandolier with zip ties and carabiners. Like a diy HYS strap.

I now use my linemans belt. Figured I already have it in the tree, might as well use it.

7/64 Amsteel daisy chain and a CamJam, with a couple J hooks and a hero clip. Light, strong, and works on a wide variety of tree sizes.

I currently use a strap with a plastic buckle but I'm thinking about trying this out...
Been using something extremely similar for a couple years. Only difference is I carry 2 and I have coated hooks from an old ratchet strap already tied onto the friction loops. I girth hitch around tree, then friction hitch is placed on tag end hanging down, then hang my gear. As compact as it gets.
