Anybody ever used this stuff?
Is there any advantage in using wire rope instead of this?

Reason I ask is I'm about to fell some trees and winch/tow them out of the forest. I'll have to tow them out using a belay and maybe hand-winch if/when they get caught on a stump.

If anyone has any experience of using various types of winch rope I'd appreciate your thoughts?

imo opinion the plasma rope wont suit your needs a steel rope is more suited to tree felling and pulling and wont snag or sever like a plasma rope would

but for offroading recoverys i would never ever use a steel rope i only use plasma
ive seen wire ones snap and it aint pretty
