Where is a good place to get some tow straps? How weak is too weak, or even better, what is the best size and length?

Go to Princess Auto in Burnside They have tow straps , recovery straps and tree savers. I payed $20. for my tree saver, and $39. for my recovery strap.

What do you use for length and strength? I'm thinking 8000lb min but how long is too long/short?

Tree strap is 3 ft long and 16000 lbs and the recovery strap is 18000 lb can't remember how long. They have different size ones there.

This is a few days old But, Action Truck Caps in Dartmouth. They carry all this stuff, I got my straps at the moncton store dirt cheap. New Drawbar,Clevis,25ft. 20,000lb strap for 50$ out the door. I had a 18,000lb Princess Auto strap blow out at the stitching pulling a YJ out of a ditch.

Steller ind. Im moncton ... they supply slings & straps for the const industry ... and when they sat its rated to 30,000 lbs it is , un like some of the stuff you get from princess auto ...there must be a place in HFX ...

I would be cautious of slings and straps for the construction industry. They are made for cranes, lifting, etc. No elasticity. Tow straps have some elasticity so things don't get torn apart & the elasticity helps extractions!

Beware ObiHann, some places like Princess Auto advertise "recovery straps" for sale but when you pick up the item at the store they're actually "tow straps". Again "tow straps" don't have the elasticity of "recovery straps".

The last one I bought was from National 4WD but you should be able to get one from APJ's or Ray Jay's (local shops in your area ObiHann).
