What is the cinch strap used for?
The cinch strap is used for two functions: (1) When a hunter reaches his desired climbing height, attach the S hook into the end of the siderails and hook the other S hook into the other siderail. Pull the strap until it fits to the tree. This will prevent the Tree-Lounge from slipping down the tree while turning around. (2) Holding the foot climber and Tree-Lounge together while carrying.
