HYS Strap Question

[blzn04]

I was plating around with my HYS strap yesterday and had a question. In G2's original vid years ago on his DIY accessory strap he threads the tail end of the strap through the "tightest" loop. The new HYS strap has the T-hook and orange strap for tightening it. It gets pretty tight with the strap without threading it but i just feel like it leaves a chance for the T-hook to slip off and possibly have everything fall to the ground. Do you think you should thread it though a hole and then tighten even further with the t-hook/strap?

I thought I saw Ernie do it that way in the THP video.

I've seen it done both ways. Pictures on Tethrd site just uses t-hook. I have seen guys in videos girth hitch it. I think the T-hook is enough for most normal loads a hunter would put on it, but the girth hitching would be the most secure.

I'm pretty sure it was designed to girth hitch through the end loop that the orange piece of webbing is connected to. Then you use the T-hook tonkeep it tightened down.

I used mine this weekend without girth hitching but I think it's best to girth hitch first. It takes a little extra time but it's worth having a little back up just in case.
