So could this rope be used in conjunction with a safety harness/ prussic knot setup for tree stand use?

I'm not sure I understand the question, but my reflex answer would be yes. The cord is extremely strong, is soft and flexible, and can be knotted easily. One tip: Anywhere you have a cut end, tie a little knot, as it tends to fray.

I wouldn't use it if I had other options. In an emergency, you take what you have avaliable other wise get materials that are made specifically for your task. If your looking to setup an Auto-Block most people use 6mm or 7mm accessory cord, This cord is 4mm. With a Prusik or klemheist knot, your concern is friction against the main line so surface area is as important as tensile strength in my opinion. Some companies make a preambled Auto-Blocks for a pretty reasonable price. Check this out here. http://www.sterlingrope.com/product/155018/CAB/_/Auto_Block

I don't see why not with 850 pound but not 550. I would likely double it up to be on the safe side. I always go with more than I think I might need just to be on the safe side.

When you fall, the distance you fall is very important as to how strong the rope needs to be as is the weight of the person falling. To be safe I don't think this would be a good choose for anyone. A much better choose would be a length of climbing rope which you could get at REI by the foot so your cost wouldn't be too high. This is really cord NOT rope.

Here's a cool way to to help with the sag. If you must buy tree straps then why make them single purposed? I bought 1" nylon webbing (1/2the price of slings) 2x 10 ft and used the hammocks included 550 for cordage. The webbing is super strong has a larger mass and less abrasive to the hammock. Thread in place of the 550 and when tearing down camp the webbing can be used for lashing and other as needed. Webbing I got is rated at 1k and is (with propper training) a very good self made rescue rappell harness or lanyard for gear in floating water crossings. Not bad multi use. Add two climbing rated carabiners and you have a system to hang hammock and many other uses. Here's a cool way to to help with the sag. If you must buy tree straps then why make them single purposed?

Hello, We have talked to the manufacturer and they indicate YES, you can use it for a climbing tree stand. We hope this was helpful WorldGoodsCorp

I have no experience in rope climbing, so cannot comment on that. I used it to grab brush and pull out with a tractor and it worked great for that. Sorry I can't be more help.

I think so, but I'm not using mine now. I think that worst case scenario would be that you might need to sit on a stool or tie on an extension to the rope. No big deal in my opinion.

Yes, but not the hardware needed for installing on tree! Rope is high quality and U.V. Protected.

I hang my hammock between trees and adjust the length by using a heavy duty rope - it works fine.

It is unclear to me whether the knot would interfere with joining sections together, otherwise you could do it, but it depends on what you want to use it for and the stresses involved. The poles weren't really designed for that length, so might be too fragile for the application.

Yes, you should be able to because you loop it over itself to secure it. If I remember correctly, it comes with an extender strap for thick branches.

Hi Robert, I would not reccomend it for tree climbing. A static line would be more efficient. With the elasticity of standard climbing ropes ascending lines would be more tiring and slower.I hope this helps, if you have any more questions please let me know.-BennettOMC Customer Service

I am not sure if you can wrap over existing rope as I have not done it. It seems to me that if rope is tightly wrapped and secured that it would work but I am not sure.

I would not recommend using rope. You need some type of steel strand which needs to be as tight as possible between two trees.

You certainly could with the ropes provided. Ws used it on dog pen and tied it to posts.

Assuming that's your standard parachute cord, then yes. But, if not you always make a loop and use the lip on the other edge or an S hook to hook to the stake!

Yes I think it will work, maybe reinforce the ends where you connect to the stand or hanging ropes with a plain color painters drop cloth for more strength

Why sure...depends on if you can tie it down well enough. You might end up messing with it a lot.

I suppose in theory it could although I I've never tried that. I would think there would be better choices out there for a swing rope.
