Climbing hemp-vine is a plant that grows in tropical regions and is known for its ability to climb and wrap around tree trunks and other vegetation. Other names for climbing hemp-vine include devil's rope, devil's guts, and devil's hair. It is also known as bear bind because it can be used to tie up bears and other animals. The vine has a tough, flexible stem that is covered in tiny hairs, which make it difficult to handle without gloves. Although it is not a true hemp, it has been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments, including fever, coughs, and snakebites.
