Default 4'+ dia trees

My favorit spot is changing and I need some advice
It is a funnel between several farm feilds and 200 acres of CPR and brush along a creek

But the problem is all the normal sized trees are ...err NO , were White Ash
And the Emeral Ash Borer have killed them all , we are cutting them down for fire wood

So all the trees that remain along the creek are either smaller trees , 4" acrost at the height you would hang a stand
Or Cotton Wood trees that are 4 - 5' at the stump and close to that where I would hang a stand

I figure a tree 4" in Dia might not be the best idea

So I am left with either the cotten wood trees
Or some sort of tri pod stand between the smaller trees , not my idea of fun
And IMO I would probely stand out like a sore thumb

As I normaly hang 4 hang on stands , for different wind directions
I was trying to figure out a safe way of ataching them to the Cotten Woods , the 6' strap will not even get 1/2 way around
I was thinking of a 25' 2" 10,000 lb wrachet strap
But those are Yellow , but might work

Or I could bite the bullet and buy some ladder stands and use longer straps to hold them to the trees

Your thoughts
