I build anchors on trees with these guys all the time. They work really well.

These work great for that. I usually use the 120cm, wrapped around a tree and then tied off with an overhand knot creating two loops for a locking biner. If you girth hitch it, make sure to keep the loop running straight through and not bending back across the sling.

They'll work just as well as any other sling, just make sure you don't have the rope running directly through the sling. It takes about 10 seconds to burn through a sling with a rope.
