Ok first of all i've searched all on google and this forum and i cannot find my answer. Im a total newbie and i just got a new 70ft rope and a handle. i cut 5 feet off so im at 65+5 with the handle which equals 70ft. Now my question is.... how do i tie the rope to the handle..... what specific ties/knots do you to do make a secure knot..... help please i want to get out there Smile

i dont really understand wat u did.. u cut the handle off the rope to make it shorter and know u need to tie it back? i would just make a loop on both ends of the rope and then feed the handle threw the loop of the long rope and then back thrrew the loop on the end of the rop attached to the handle... i dont know wat the knots are called, just make sure the loops arnt going to tighten when u pull it. i hope u know wat i mean i could try to explain better mabyue if u dont understand, or mabye get a picture...
hope it helped.

as in u literally cut it off? if so, i would like to laugh at u, or did u just take off one of the extensions by sliding it off or just let it hang loose? please god tell me u didn't cut the actual rope with like scissors...

i donno it doesnt make sence.... it sounds like u have a sectiond rope.. u can remove 5 foot lengths but u dont cut them they have loops and u can take the sections on or off... do u have a picture of ur rope ?
