5. Splice the rope ends together. Any Eagle Scout, sailboat owner,
farmer, oil rig roughneck, or rancher can show you how. There may even
be a few Navy people that know how. It's surprisingly easy to do, and
a good trick to have when you don't want tp make a long trip to the
store to replace a broken rope. Around here, I always splice a loop in
the end of a new rope as a handy way to cinch a load of stuff to drag
to another location or whatever. Plus it keeps the rope from fraying.

"Splice" and "quick connect" are not synonymous, Joe.
