What a fantastic guide, thank you! I grew up in the BSA program but always struggled with knots (didn't care enough at the time). As an adult this was very easy to follow!
Every turn you take around your hand is going to add one twist in the cord when you pull it off the coil. the proper way to store cord or rope for that matter is it a Figure 8. that way each Loop is 1/2 clockwise twist and 1/2 counterclockwise twist. That way the twists undo themselves.
You are 100% right!
Harvey is exactly right. This is all simply and quickly demonstrated by coiling a short (about 6 foot) and twist-free length of small cord around one's hand using both a standard coil method and then a figure eight coil method. Undo the coils from each method while holding each end and let the rope hang free. The standard coiled rope/string will twist back on itself, while the figure-eight coiled rope/string will hang limp and twist-free between the two ends. Same applies to garden hoses, extensions cords, etc.. It's amazing that so many of us go to the trouble of ensuring that our rope is free of tangles/kinks before stowing and then just put all the kinks/twists back in when coiling. Typically, the kinks don't just magically appear during normal use.
Plaese make a video showing your method with 500 feet of 5/8 anchor line.
You're right, Harvey, but when doing figure-8's you are forced to "stack" each turn (where they cross in the middle), which means you're limited to how many 8's you can do before the stack is unwieldy. I just tried doing figure-8's with 100' of paracord, and it was just too much.
Huh, I just tried this method with some paracord and some rope and didn't have that problem. I do however do what you're saying with more rigid things like air hoses, water hoses, and extension cords to avoid the kinks.
Very helpful tutorial, i have 30m of rope had provlems storing it, after this vid i made it very easy to store!
Great, thank you - that's very easy to follow and very easy to do. Much appreciated. (And thanks for keeping the video short, that always makes a difference!)
I was about to mention what STP stated in the response below.
I've found that the "Figure 8" method is way more effective for me. I actually find it faster, probably because you don't need to look at what you're doing after you've done it a few times.
But either way, whatever technique is used is FAR superior than just tossing rope in your pack. :)
Good clip.
Late to the party. But exactly my thoughts.
If you don't be pretty accurate with the full loop coiling shown here, it won't unwind as nicely as he demonstrated here.
With figure 8 (and the rest is the same as shown), you can be pretty bad at coiling and it will still unwind just fine.
That's why sailors do it that way. They don't have time to fool around.
Another great how to and the contrast of the cord in this video really popped!
+CampfireTalk Thanks Camp! That orange paracord pops against almost any background, which is really nice. I try and use orange wherever it's practical. - Chris
Nice. Much better than some of the other quick deploy methods. Thanks for sharing
Just did it and it worked great, thsnks and keep up the great tips. God bless and again thanks for saving me time untangling my cord.
Thank you do much for including direct links to the related videos in the description. Nothing worse than not being able to find the videos when the links in the end card don't work.
Thank you! So far this is the easiest way to coil paracord!
I do something somewhat similar, but I like this method better. Thanks for the tip.
+Great Lakes Backpacker You're welcome! As always, thanks for watching. We're happy to hear these tips are what you're after. :) - Chris
Awesome teaching!!! Thank you so much! Great camera angles and explanations!
thank you so much, I am using this for my slickline for my bear bag, it really helped me to keep it all detangled. thanks so much!!
Took me a few times (I'm super-amateur), but I got it. Thanks for posting!
Great tip. First thing I do when I get paracord is rewrap to avoid those nasty tangles. Will have to give this method a shot.
+Cr0cket20 I still use your method; figure 8 around my thumb and pinky. I may see about some hybrid version of the 2 using a bite cinch.
+CampfireTalk Some people wrap very fast with the figure 8 method. Maybe I need to put in some more practice with that method. Either way, both methods work great. Why do you prefer the figure 8 method? Is it the speed factor, or is it something else?
yes, speed is the main reason. Also, it seems more natural, but that's just my opinion. When deploying it's the same as your by pulling from the inside strand.
Thanks! Just used this technique for some 1/4 rope
Great tip, I will try this...I usually use the figure "8" wrap around my thumb and pinkie
+Dr. Ron Goldstein The figure 8 works well too. I personally find that wrapping it in a circle is easier for me to do quickly, so that's why I use this method. However, if you have a lot of paracord to wrap up, it can get a bit cumbersome toward the end. - Chris
It is much better and easier to do the figure 8, because that way you're not twisting your cord making it tangle.
At first I was like "this ain't gonna work" (especially when you wrapped fast) but at the end you blew my mind.
Had my hurricane supplies kind of all over the place. I live in Tampa and Irma gave me a wake up call after years of lackadaisical hurricane preparedness. So basically here's the deal, I've got all my supplies in two 5 gallon plastic buckets that I can store water in and turn into a water filter when the clean runs. I should say I three containers because the extra one is full of several different diameter and lengths rope in case I need to affix tarps to blown out windows or holes in the roof, as well as a few different diameter and lengths of paracord for whatever else I may need. Well I now realize I've gone way too much detail, but with a year old video I'm not sure the remarks are monitored. I've been trying to properly store this rope and paracord in ways that condense the storing size as well as a quick way to be able to utilize the rope so I can cover windows and holes quickly instead untangling rope as the rain pours in. Well upon discovering this video I have started to wind the rope as you are in the video with the exception that I couldn't keep the rope tight so I made a quick wooden U shaped template (if that's the word) in which I wound the rope on. Here's my problem, after a this verbal meandering finally a question, huh? So the 'pinched' end that was sucked up isn't going anywhere, but how do I stop the other end from just unwinding?
😀
Now that's a question 😉
Years old now but still curious as to what you actually mean, just in case you get this could you ask the question part again, and maybe you have figured out the solution, like I said just curious. Hope those supplies are dustiy and unused. Mark
best hank on youtube, not a hot take, just the truth.
Great tip. I feel like I should take a vow though to really keep my cords in better condition. I "state your name" do vow to keep my cords more organized. Gee I hope that works.
Thanks
Bruce
+Nature Calls Ha, yeah. If that works we should have published a video with that tip first! Thanks for watching Bruce. :) - Chris
Depends on who's parachute it is... _I mean it depends on who's_ *_hammock_* it is... Yeah... that's what I meant... just as a practical joke sort of thing. (I'm kidding of course). I'll even take your vow to prove it. ... I "state your name" do vow to keep my cords more organized._ The real problem starts when you (I) pull the wrong end right from the start. UGH! By the time I get it untangled, it's time to go home - lol.
Great Video. So simple, but unless you know the trick, it's very frustrating at times.
nice teaching. tqvm. helps a lot
Why is your paracord so stiff? Is it some different type? I have type III and it's very flexy
Great method for paracord, you are letting the turn go off the end, and you finished properly. Now, lets see you do that with 500 feet of 5/8 line.
Could you make a video on how to store ection cords so they don't tangle? I know there's one way to wrap them and they end up with a hanger
thank you. My cord was a nasty mess as usual!
I really prefer the figure-of-eight over the thumb and pinky, as this method CANNOT GET JUMBLED UP THE WAY YOUR WRAP AROUND METHOD SO EASILY DOES.!!!
For larger hanks, you can do a FIGURE-OF-EIGHT FROM YOUR HAND, CROSSING AROUND YOUR ELBOW, THEN WRAP AROUND THE HANK.
Or for an even larger hank, you could out-streatch both your two hands, and draw your right to your left, clamp your left and release your right, and again out-streatch both your right and left, to grab the next 6 feet, but as you draw the right to the left, DROP THE LAST GRASPED LEFT HANDS WORTH, before you grasp with the left and release the right. so now you've got a hank in your left hand that's twice 6 feet, basically a twelve foot loop, that you can tie the free end around, and when done, you can lay flat on the ground, ready to pick up and UNHANK! A lot less trouble!!! Regards!!!
Thanks for the tip! Dang unravelling, paracord mess was getting me annoyed
I like to put a shoelace knot at the end so it for sure doesnt come loose and can easily be taken off when i need.
Amazing, thanks for sharing!
Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks
Brilliant . Thank you
Thank you 👌
Still don’t understand, do you house calls?
HAHAHAHAHAH 6 years later, here I'm. Watching, because someone posted in a BDSM community, in how can we avoid messing with our ropes. hHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH tthanks for this video.
This is sick
Good show mate. Keep up the good vids.
+mister smith Thanks! We will keep the videos coming. :) - Chris
Very useful, thanks!
Cheers mate!
Thank you :)
Thanks for a great video
Great tip!
+ziwk89 Glad you like it! Thanks for watching. :) - Chris
will this work in nylon rope
thanks
AWESOME THANKS
Great vid. We should be taught this in school smh
It's definitely a useful trick to know. It's nice having paracord stored neatly that's easy to deploy. Glad you like the vid. Thanks for watching! :) - Chris
Thanks buddy very usefull subbed!
Would have been nice if we actually could see how you undo the coil instead of your wrist.
having small hands makes this hell
gods do live amongst mem
Thank you so Much!!! this was a great help! -11bravo
+frank Zmonster Awesome! Glad to know it helped you out. Thanks for watching. :) - Chris
Sorry, but NO bunch is 100% tangle-free - the least likely to tangle is to wrap it in a figure-8-configuration before whipping the bunch with the tail-end tightly and finishing it off with some half-hitches. Let the start-end be an inch longer and deploy it by pulling the long start-end.
Let's all be real...you came here to know how to tidy up your bondage / Shibari Rope 😏
I was looking for this comment 🤣🤣
nope
Or buy a spool tool....
+Jerm1179 A spool tool definitely helps if you have large lengths of paracord to wrap up. For the folks who want to save some money or don't have a spool tool yet, this is a great option. - Chris
+Sierra Trading Post absolutely
it is, and to be honest, I'm trying to have as few "tools" as possible and this method is just plain perfect! Thanks for your vid!
I'm not goin camping ;)
Wimpy cordage you have there dude
Lost me at 24 seconds. You really should explain what "on a bite" means. People are not born knowing that terminology.
on a bight* which to be honest it just shows that it could have been explained
