Are you thinking of an utility constrictor rope (UCR)? As long as you keep tension on both ends of the bury it may be a possible option to test and it will use a lot less cordage than a WS (like Bubba mentioned). However, I'm sure it has been tried several times before by other members here and undoubtedly, they will chime in on the inadequacies of the UCR for this application.
