Disclaimer: I am not familiar with GT at all.
My son has a GT (I think it is a UL...it is fairly small and blue) (he doesn't know, he just picked it up a couple of years ago) and hasn't changed out the suspension. He uses it fairly regular as he is in the Navy on a Destroyer and uses it over his "rack" when he can. He brought it home with him and one of the knots on the end is coming untied. I tried to tie it back, but it is a fat piece of rope and unwieldly as heck. Does anyone know what knot it is and is it worth trying to re-tie it?
I know how to splice and want to make a couple of 10 inch continuous loops for him. I want to do a Knotty mod on the ends and think it will work. I figured someone had done this, so thought I ask if it is a good idea...or am I just being an over-zealous mom? :) Because he uses it in confined spaces, rather than trees, I thought the loops would work better than Whoopies.
Any advice is appreciated.
