Buying and carrying a strap with a 50,000 pound capacity just to be able to have it function at 30,000 pounds is... ineffecient at best. Not to mention the difficulty of untying any knot after a good hard yank or five of them. And the reduction iun length is usually nothing to be ignored.
Carry rigging gear and don't tie knots in you straps.
