Using 5mm climbing rope for a suspension

[American dream]

I use 7mm pmi accessory cord from rei and have never had a problem with it.

I use 6mm static rope on my rap ring suspension setup.....fixing the rope wear issues I had before.
Been in use for over a year now, with no outer casing wear whatsoever. Still looks brand spanking new.

[QUOTE=jbrescue;1052054]You will be hard pressed to get a trucker's hitch tight enough anyhow. You would be better off using a taut line hitch or a small prussic to tighten the line.[/QUOTE

I dont believe I quite understand your comment, I decide how much distance is between a truckers hitch and it could be 1' or 15'...please clarify.

Thanks,

Used the 5mm rope last weekend for an one night trip and it did not stretch so It seems to work good so far.
