You've had a wonderful day in the woods. But when it's time to pack up, you notice a sticky residue on your tree straps - tree sap. It's annoying but a common occurrence for any outdoor enthusiast. Tree sap can degrade the quality of your straps and shorten their lifespan if not properly dealt with.
