Well said.

I love paracord, I've got a couple hundred feet of the stuff in the cordage box on the shelf next to me, actually. But for things like lanyards, bear bagging, guy lining, boot laces, and the like. But I've had the stuff break holding a hammock up before- a sleeping Raven dump in a cold swamp at oh-dark-hundred is a VERY grumpy version of Raven. No shock, no stress, just gravity and me and some knots.

Nowadays, I use 1" tubular webbing for tree straps, and full fledged climbing biners. Works well.
