I have a few ratchet straps in use too. It seems some last a lot longer than others. Some get weak in a year from the sun and others have been out 6-8 years and still hold good. When I find some that breakdown too soon I try not to use that brand again. However sometimes that is a guessing game. If they were in fact made of nylon they would last a very long time. Most seem to be some cheap poly web. Some are labeled as UV protected, sometimes they lie.

Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
