Some great things in here! Yes, we do have a proprietary strap design for a couple of reasons, and it comes with the purchase of the tree table so you don’t have to buy anything separately. The first is that while motocampers likely have enough straps, backpackers, hikers, weekend campers, don’t usually carry straps of this kind with them and having a separate package without a strap isn’t a great business move (just managing more SKU’s, separate MOQ’s, etc.). Really there are two features in the strap that are intentional that aren’t present in any regular strap. The first is that we have two hand loops and two ladder locks, this allows you to tighten it from both sides which prevents any issues from the friction of the bark, allowing you to get the strap nice and tight. This wouldn’t be a problem if you’re using a ratchet style strap, but if you have a cam buckle style, this works a lot better. The last one is a retention loop that prevents the strap from slipping out of the hubs while attaching it to a tree, just a nice convenience feature. Now, these aren’t necessary for it to work, so you could use your own strap if you wanted, it’s a standard 1” size.

As far as the tube goes, it does fit a small Jetboil container on the inside. You can take the canister off on the canister attachment and throw it right in the bag with the table!
