Webbing can be used with a Water Knot for a variety of uses, including creating slings, drags, as well as the Garda Hitch Footloop, detailed on this page:

Products
This is 3/4 inch flat webbing (not tubular). The strength is just over 1000lbs. Choose applications appropriately. A water knot holds well in the creation of slings.
Note: as of June 2024, the 1″ Tubular Webbing used to construct the Garda Hitch Footloop is not available for purchase by the foot.
