There are many of these trees here around. Their young branches in fact were (and are often nowadays) used to fix the vines branch to their supports

The yellow willow’s branches are really flexible and tough at the same time

Let’s try to use them as an emergency rope

It works, for sure is not robust as paracord, but as an emergency rope it works pretty well (and is completely eco-friendly!)
