Can I use paracord for some prusik based sliding accessory hooks, or is that less durable than I might want. Max load 20lbs.

I would think that would be fine. Give it a good test to make sure it bites good, but the cord itself should be strong enough.

FWIW I like to use zing-it or lash-it to make small prussiks with. I get it from dutchware gear. Stuff is crazy strong, really small, and doesn’t weigh anything.

I also use 300 lb braided fishing line for tiny prussic knots. I got it on Amazon.
Paracord will work too. The key is the prussic cord must be smaller diameter than the main cord.

Cheers thanks.
I know dutchware sells 1/4” by the foot, and I believe they sell 1/8” and 7/64” in 25’ pieces, but I think its only like $5-$7 if I’m correct.

I've got 1/4 at R&W rope.

Thanks. I ordered 25’ of 7/64 and 6 feet of 1/4.
I really should have bought enough 1/4 for my sticks and platform, but that would have put me over budget.
