    I didn't have extra D-rings around to use when connecting the two during my recent recovery and now my Bubba Rope is wrapped around my ARB tow strap; does anyone know of a way to get them separated?

    ^Put a lot of tension in the ARB strap, where the rope is wrapped around, to reduce the strap diameter. :notsure:

    Agree with @KenLyns

    And some dish soap on Bubba to make him slippery

    Avoid petroleum-based lubes because they can cause the latex to break down... wait what are we talking about again? :laughing:

    Dawn is the only dish soap I allow in the house.

    So yes, let Dawn lube Bubba.

    Just keep trying lol. I take it you won't do that again. Adding Dawn and soaking it in water then drying it repeatedly might loosen it up a little.

    Also, it is generally recommended to not connect a static and dynamic strap. Since dynamic straps stretch they often exceed the breaking strength of static straps during the recovery.

    Just the essentials and no extra fluff.
    I was going to post something along these lines. Mixing dynamic and static straps is bad.
