Can it be used for repelling? (150 lbs)
2800
Yes it is rated for 550pounds, but I would find it difficult to hold and stop because of small diameter. I made brackets and gun slings out of it. And took one apart in the field to tie together my body armor strap.mostly emergency type utility stuff.

NO! Climbing/rappelling ropes are 8-11mm in diameter and rated in the *7500* lbs break test range - a factor of 15. Also Paracord has elasticity of up to 30% under heavy load. A static rope i.e. very little elasticity is what is preferred for rappelling. Even if you quadrupled braided it, I would not use it unless my life was severely threatened by not trying a rappel - any then, doubled, tripled or more..

I'm sure if you braided several equal length brands together to make a rope it would work more comfortably than one single strand; though the single strand would hold your weight at cost of comfort - which could result in a fall. Thick Knots on a single strand would be okay for climbing or lowering short distances.

I would not use for repelling. The diameter is too small and I would not trust it with my life. It might be strong enough but the word is "MIGHT"

I am not sure but I don't think so. It is very strong, but very thin. There must be ratings for that kind of thing, but just one strand is probably not enough to use to repel.

While the cord does have a 550lb test strength, and your weight is only 150lbs you should theoretically be able to use this cord for repelling. The reason i say "theoretically" is because I have never personally tested this cord for repelling. However, You shouldn't have a problem. My only concern would be in case of a fall with the velocity of your weight being applied to the cord would it snap? I would suggest you research the testing on this cord. Another thing to think about is the fact that although the cord is very strong it is also very thin. Will it fray too quickly on stone?Hope this helps!

Absolutely!!! 100% I use it for legs and I pull back 225lbs easy. Highly recommend!

Personally I wouldn't use it to hold any pets in. The magnets work decent, but not strong enough to keep a pet from going through.

Yes but with this caveat- if you use it as a snatch block, make sure maximum force doesn't exceed its rating of 17900lbs. For simple direction changes its fine.

Yes, definitely. I have a 100 lbs bag that I leave on the mount. The thing wont budge. I even hang from it just to play around (I am 260 lbs). So 150 will be fine.

Not sure of the "limit, but I am a full size adult weight 150 pounds and I used it no problem.

I would say no. I thought this product was junk. It certainly wasnt what they said as holding up to 20 lbs.

Sorry I can't say for sure. I weigh 150 pounds and I have no problem at all. All I can say is it seems very robust

No, it would not work well with a person who weights more than 300 lbs. I'm pretty small (about 125 lbs) and it works fairly well for me, but I would get something thicker in this case.

I've never tried, but would not use it for that. It's designed to pull up archery equipment such as a bow at maybe 4-8 lbs. Not designed for people...

Most likely not, It is rated at 250 lbs. I haven't tried anything that big.

I'm sure if you placed a piece of board inside the bottom you could carry almost any load you want, the limit on this would be the webbing in the current format, though with 150lbs in the back - better you peddaling than me

No. This is not an adequate approach to your dog's safety, 120 lbs or 20 lbs, doesn't matter. I have yet to find anything that can accommodate an active dog appropriately.

Reginald, this will support anything 15 lbs or less. The cross bar extends 12 feet across. you may want to contact Savage company about the weight. We appreciate your inquiry.Regards,Alex G

Build his medium stiffness and I would not use it for any sort of repelling. It is an okay duty belt but I would only use it for that.

The legs do need seem to be strong enough for that (in my class we use it for nothing heavier than about 150.

It might hold 150 lbs if used like a snare that you see in the movies, all bunched up at the top with the critter suspended below. I use it as a back stop to stop errant hockey pucks - can stop a 90 mph hockey puck.
