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.
Just watched your mule tape vid- well done. You answered several of my questions. Thank you and may GOD bless you for all you do. You continue to work hard to teach those who do not have the years of experience. Thank you.
Thanks for the video Blackie, I will now start using mule tape to hang my hammock. Was always having the knots slide out, your tips are fantastic. Cheers 🇨🇦
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.
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.
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.
Nicely done on showing the different ways too tie mule tape and not have a knot , that you can't get out . Nice job on video!! Keep up the good work on videos!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍
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-
@@BLACKIETHOMAS it seems like TH-cam 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.

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.
what about all them bugs?
yep most skeeters only fly 6ft or less so your above most ofthem
wow thanks!
What about doing it with a bowline and a marlin spike?
Mule tape breaking strength (at least the brand I have) is 1800 pounds! Good stuff and lightweight.
yes it is
Hey Mr Blackie.
Where did you get your very nice patina hat. Cheers Hans in tge uk.
I made it one year at a time had it since early 1990's
Blackie I'm in Millbrook area, arent u South Alabama?
yes down near dothan lower right corner of the state
You wouldn’t know what the minimum feet per roll they sell that stuff in , would you? Good to keep around the house.
I seem to remember reading/hearing somewhere that you can remove the slickness by soaking it for a few days? Does that ring a bell?
have not heard that but might just work
