Abstract
A multi-purpose utility strap featuring an elongated strap component having an identical first end and second end. A first attachment component is disposed on the top surface of the strap component at the first end, a second attachment component is disposed on the top surface of the strap component next to the first attachment component, a third attachment component is disposed on the bottom surface of the strap component at the second end, and a fourth attachment component is disposed on the top surface of the strap component a distance from the second end. The first attachment component is adapted to engage the second attachment component to form a loop, and the third attachment component is adapted to engage the fourth attachment component to form a loop.
