Just wondering which is better for setting up a belay station. Webbing or 7mm Prusik cord? I have used webbing but I don't like playing around getting a good straight knot. What are your thoughts?

Dude, seriously... There are world famous threads on this forum about this exact subject. Do a search then pick up "Climbing Anchors" by John Long.

Thank you. Needed to be said, and you said it about as politely as possible.
