It is demonstrated that there is a simple, canonical way to show the independency of the Friedman-style miniaturization of Kruskal's theorem with respect to $(\prod_{2}^{1}-BI)_0$. This is done by a non-trivial combination of some well-known, non-trivial previous works concerning directly or indirectly the (proof-theoretic) strength of Kruskal's theorem.
