Poly straps and d-rings.....poly doesn't stretch when wet like nylon.....your not going to break a metal d-ring anytime soon.....Light,easy to make,cost $1.........double over the end of the strap when you sew it leaving a little flap......tuck the end under the strap when tight......can't come loose and dangle(flap won't go under strap) unless your stitching breaks or the whole load comes loose.
