While we all may not need to manage a rope, I am certain we all need to manage electrical extension cords. Thanks for teaching a useful life skill.
Good material, but there's really no need for the intrusively loud background music drowning out the spoken content.
at 10:10 , as a skydiver thats known as a daisy chain , very handy
great video, I learned a lot form this. Thank youl
Man… I'm not sure why this isn't shown in college. I shouldn't have made it past 30 without knowing these tips! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent point about finding and marking the middle.
It's also worth measuring it.
I tend to measure and mark quarters and eighths.
I've then got a fairly accurate measuring tool and it also makes cutting lengths more reliable.
Awesome Sir! Thanks for sharing! You may want to consider start using this platform and get rewarded for your knowledge here: https://ctv.im/KEAF2 See what other are saying: https://youtu.be/whct79UPTBU and there's a lot of more too! To your success!
John here the last one the best one been using it for 45yrs electican buddy show he work for the rail road
If you pull up the rope from behind you and a poisonous spider climbs on to it.. you're only going to find out by the time it bites you on the neck! So might be safer pulling it up in front while you're de-kinking it..
Wow, thank you, this was one of the best n easiest to follow rope mgnt vids on you tube.
You lost me before the 2:32 minutes mark. That hogwash done by running the rope over your shoulder to “remove” the kinks and twists did nothing besides moving those kinks and twists to the rope already ahead of you, that is the reason the kinks were back when you started coiling your line. To do it right, find a field clear of thickets, sticks and loose debris. Take your line and toss it to extend it before you, if too long walk it our in as straight a line line as possible; removing the kinks in the process. Go to the point you started from and start coiling the rope as you were doing, to eliminate the twists just turn the rope 1/2 turn as you bring it to your hand or coil on the ground if too long or thick for you to hold in one hand. Since you can’t even do this right your video isn’t worth watching through.
though all of those were useful but Last one was very cool
good video, thanks!
Great video…thanks!
When is a knot not a knot? . . . . . When its a knot hole. This one's not. 1:23 !
But at 1:53, you are coiling the rope backwards and that is why you are getting figure 8s. Rope has a right-hand lay and one needs to rotate the rope 1/4 turn as you make a coil . . . when you do it backwards, as he does here, it just does not work. Just look at the figure 8 to prove that point. The coils should be 0s, not 8s.
Regarding the common coil you demonstrated first, you may note that the rope wants to fall in figure 8 patterns. Let it! When you twist the rope to get a clean loop, you're applying the same turn to the rope that you put in the coil, and you'll get it twisted when you pull it out of the coil. The figure 8 alternates which way the rope turns, for a net zero twists, and the crossing additionally keeps the loops from crossing through each other. I guess the downside is that it won't lay as flat, so might not be as good for packing tightly.
Ok. I have to admit this… I have been repailing, x military, survival camping style and all that. Thanks much i learned stuff today watching this. Now I knew about the 1st part…. Very easy but wow, those other ways are amazing. Thanks oh and btw that last one is from crocheting 🙂
good presentation. 6 min version please
That last one was a variation of a horse hitch! I've never considered using it to coil rope but that's how we tie off our horses. I just thought that was funny.
How to coil rope!! Step 1: never coil rope! Step 2: see step 1. Your welcome! 🙂
Mine is 200 foot. I got it in a bag.
Excellent. informative, engaging and well presented. More please
I like to use a rope bag. It is much easier for storage and transport, plus when used properly, very fast to stow the rope.
No bueno
