“Mule tape is a high-strength cordage that is commonly used for heavy lifting jobs in woods craft and camping. The smooth, flat rope is designed to slide easily through tight spaces. However, it has a downside: its slickness makes it difficult to tie a secure knot that won’t slip and become difficult to untie. In today’s video, I will demonstrate several tips and tricks for tying mule tape to a tree to hang gear or to hang a hammock.”
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!

Absolutely love the stuff, my old boss used to tell a story about watching some contractors doing a pull for some underground with it stretched across one of the roads on our campus and tied off to the truck they were using to do the pull. A car came along that ignored what they were doing, and ran into the line while it was under tension. It took the cosmetic portion of the front end of the car off and didn’t break. I’ve also used the stuff as my tie downs on my ladder racks for years. Not sure how much strength it actually lost from being in the sun, but the last batch I replaced was on there for about six years and the only real issue I ever had was if it was wet when you had to tie it off it was a pain to get loose the next time.

I recently used the quick deploy Ridgeline with a couple of alpine butterfly loops to hang my hammock. Took a little tries to get my loops spaced right, works great now. Love the mule tape.

Thanks for the info, Blackie... I've set up mule tape ridge lines a time or two. I just used a bowline and a stick toggle for my anchor end. Trucker's hitch on the other end for tension.

Mule tape is very strong. I had a 98 suburban that weighed over 5k lbs. I had it on a small incline, put in neutral and pulled it with a truck. It's definitely a lot stronger than 550 paracord.

Hello Blackie- I dont have much experience with this tape, but I have tied using prusik and works very good. Another thing it is great for is using it to make a tensionless anchor utilizing a carabiner around a tree, for instance. Thanks for another video and hopefully its starting to cool off down that way. Carry On-

I use mule tape on permanent tree platforms deep in the swamps for tree stands or a place to sleep approximately 10 ft in the air.

@@blackoracle69 it seems like KZfaq deleted my reply. I found the thread that I remembered. If you search "hammockforums mule tape soak" in Google you will find it. "Soak it in a bucket of water with TSP powder from the hardware store". They also talk about using liquid dish soap.
