I want to use this knot as a safety line while climbing to a tree stand during hunting season.I am using a piece of rope that is about 6ft in length. What type of knot do I need to use to connect the two ends of my rope together so that I can connect my carabiner and use the prusik to climb?

Check out" backing up your rappel" I think Tom uses the knot your looking for. Realy you just want to close the loop and a simple overhand wil do that. Put a second overhand behind the first if you be a big chicken. The most secure closing of a loop may be the double fisherman,s knot.
