| NRS Straps—we love them, you love them. Some might even call them iconic. These little life savers don’t just come in clutch when tying boats to the roof or attaching a frame to your raft. They’re belts, hammock straps, dog leashes, gate latches, ski straps, quick fixes for shoes, trailers and more.
But we don’t need to tell you how to use an NRS Strap. In fact, we want to see what you’ve got. We want to see the unexpected—where, when, and how your trusty NRS Strap came in handy or turned your day around. This November and December, share your favorite #StrapHacks for a chance to win big—our biggest strap pack yet. |
 To enter, email your best stories and photos to straphacks@nrs.com during the competition window, November 3, 2025–December 15, 2025. |
