Curious what others do but I pair mine up and then double or fold them over until they are a couple feet long and then tie a half hitch in them.

 

Right now I’m sorting them by length and then folding them over and running both loop ends thru a 2 foot strap.

 

I leave my loop straps permanently rigged.

How are you using them that they need removing?

I guide for OARS so I rig every launch.

 

I keep all the buckles on one or more carabiners and the straps on others. Still s sh*t show...but a little more manageable.

 

I tie pairs of loop straps in a overhand knot and just embrace the shot show of my strap bag.

 

Roll them like a climbing rope. I made this for straps. But you could also just roll and tie them in any section of tough fabric. They can't get tangled if they can't move.

 

that's a really nice looking solution. I think I know what my next MYOG project is gonna be now...

 

Daisy chain in pairs.

 

Pass the tag end through the non-buckle side of the buckle.
pull thru approx a foot of tag.
Find the center of the remaining loop.
Roll the loop on itself.
Once you get to the buckle, take the tag end, wrap it around the rolled loop and use the buckle to secure it.

takes a couple times to get it dialed and also takes longer than just overhanding them, but cleans strap piles up immensley, even 2,3,4 footers.

 

whups, this is for cam straps…

 

loop strap / cam strap - seems like definitions of terms and pics may be helpful

 

Here is a video that describes how to roll a cam strap. It takes time to do but gives you a really neat roll.

Enjoy !

 

Thanks, but the discussion is about loop straps. Most use the technique above for cams.

 

oops

“Hitch” the loop straps together at the loops to make one “standard ” strap. Then do the same rolling as cam straps shown/described above; just add extra length to the “pull through” to accommodate the bulk of the loops being hitched together.

 

I will sometimes roll the short cam straps as per the video

But most of the time I just take (for example) a 6 foot strap and use it as a holder for all the six foot straps by just camming them onto the holder strap.

same technique for all the various length straps I have. Then the entire mess goes into a mesh duffel bag from NRS. same technique for my loop straps. I connect the ends of the loop straps into one strap then attach them to a holder strap. Kind of messy but keeps everything together.

\Bottom line is what ever works for you. NRS used to sell a mesh small duffel bag with a holder strap across the bottom so you could clip cam straps or what ever, I never got around to buying one.

 

I have my straps marked by length next to the cam buckle. When I break the boat down, they get sorted by length and then daisy chained in groups of six. Then I drop them in separate stuff bags marked with "2' and 3'" straps, "Misc. 4' and 5'," '6', and 'long' for over six feet. These bags then get thrown in to a bigger bag so all the straps are in the same bag but easy to sort through.

I have my cam straps marked at the end...that way 1) they show up easy when the tail is hanging loose from teh roller storage and 2) if I cut them, I can mark the new length.

someone show me a picture of loop straps rolled up securely

I roll mine up then use mini bungee cords to wrap around them. Toss em in the strap bag. Works great but you have to be diligent about wrapping them back up. Start of the season I’m on it, by now, I’m half assed!
