I have used the REI tubular climbing webbing for Tree hugger straps. I like others just sewed a loop on one end and pulled the tab through to hook on the whoopie slings. I have not had any stretching when used in that manner. I have been in several really rainy storms too.
The last batch of webbing I purchased was from

I got 300 feet for $25. Enough for many in our Scout Troop to get some huggers. I have yet to camp out for a weekend to see how these work, but they take up less space and are slightly lighter. Looking forward to our next trip.
