I wouldn't even use grade 43 to secure a load, and neither would truckers.
It's stuitable for locking a gate, using on an engine hoist, things that aren't any kind of load.

chain vs nylon tow strap
I was thinking of getting a chain like that to carry in my camper (Isuzu NPR with a truck camper) but am thinking that a better solution is a nylon tow strap.
Northern Tool has a 2"x30' strap, rated at 6,000 lb working load, 18,000 lb breaking strength, for $38. As my truck is only 2WD and I will be depending on all of you 4x4ers to pull me out if I get stuck (hahaha), is this a reasonable strap to carry, rather than a heavy chain? Is is long enough? Heavy duty enough?
Thanks!
