My trail cam strap broke due to degradation of the webbing. It has been out in the wind, rain, and sun (although not much sun because we usually tuck it under a tree) for nearly five years. Time for a new strap.

I removed the old strap from the buckle, and cut a piece of the new strap to the length I wanted. I made is a little shorter because the old strap was designed to go around trees, and I have a stand with a much smaller diameter that I use. I sealed the ends of the new strap by passing them in front of a flame to slightly melt the fibers together.

After the ends were sealed, I sewed one end onto the buckle, and threaded the other through the trail cam and back through the buckle. I gave the camera a good clean up with a microfiber cloth as well.
