Has anyone tried using dog leashes as tree straps or suspension lines?
I have couple of these laying around and looks like free webbing to me...
Anythought?

They are very likely made of nylon webbing, and will stretch significantly when you hang from them.

I have used two for that (one at each endOriginally Posted by willswim
), 3/4 inch wide. All I did was cut the clip end of the webbing off & Viola* instant tree huggers. FWIW, I weigh 200 Lbs, & they have held someone at 250 Lbs.

Seriously, I've done it before when I've forgotten a proper tree strap. I didn't notice any stretch - I always have a leash in the car. It may have been because my dogs have already put so much tension on the leashes that they were pre-stretched. We have heeling dogs now, but it didn't come easily.
