For rope/wires I now do the "roadie wrap"! It's just wrapping it in circles, but you alternate going over or under on each pass. No knots, and when you want to unroll it you basically just toss it where you want it to go while holding one end and it fully unravels like butter. Yours might be better for transportation so it doesn't accidentally unravel, but for a dedicated garage hook or something, the roadie wrap is awesome!

[@dancap308]

Here's a tip for when you're winding rope or any sort of cable. if you want to extend the life of your power cords and want to easily throw the bundle to uncoil it, you should use the roadie wrap, it's hard to explain in a comment but I recommend looking up a video on how to do it. it'll make your cables and rope coils look neat and prolong the life of your electrical cables (really any cable in general) and keep them from coiling when you try to lay them out flat.

[@electricneonblack6335]

I do that with my guitar cables - they always end up fucked lmao

I stagehand (well usesd to) for a small band and have taught countless people how to over under the cable, because every musician I met absolutely mangled their cables. Never do the over the elbow thing to any signal wire, cheapo ethernet cables can handle that rough treatment like three or four times before they break.

[@thomascalton3067]

I always Daisy chain my electric cords

[@notarabbit1752]

best thing about that wrap style is that it allows you to hold one end of the cable, and then throw to coil in the direction you want to run it in. If you wrapped it right the cable will unwind neatly in a straight line.

[@dancap308]

cool video, I can tell your still a young lad with a healthy back and knees, my hack for dropped metal objects is I bought a really super strong magnet and epoxed it to an old broom handle so when I drop something I just grab the stick and let it search the floor to find the whatever. as long as it's not aluminum or plastic / rubber you don't need to bend over or get on the ground. perfect for me and my old bones.

It's honestly playing with fire. All it takes is an errant elbow and now you have a dead battery appearing charged. They should do it the other way around so if they accidentally knock over a charged battery then the worst that will happen is they try to recharge a charged battery

a dead battery needs to be lying down because it is dead! A charged battery is alive and standing up! :-D

[@americantrailrider7031]

Yes!!! Seems backwards.

[@Jomskylark]

Also because a standing up battery can be easily knocked over by accident and then give the false impression that it's charged. Whereas if it's the other way around and you can only knock over fully charged batteries then the worst case is you try to recharge a fully charged battery.

[@robertfake6496]

Just wanted to say that I am not into mountain biking, probably will never mountain bike. I recently got a Schwinn comfort bike and looking for information about bikes in general stumbled upon the channels. I find them informative and entertaining. A lot of the information carries over to comfort bikes I feel. My bike has a suspension fork, suspension seat post and mountain bike style handlebars and so on and so forth. Watching your videos made upgrading my bike and fixing up my wife's bike easy with the knowledge I gained from watching your channels. I still need to acquire some tools and figure out a good place to work on our bikes, but enjoying it so far. Wife's bike is and old Mongoose mountain bike. I changed out the tires from the knobby style to more of a street gravel style tire. Changed out the twist shifters, they were hard for her to shift, and installed Shimano trigger shifters. I just replaced the bars with Dimension aluminum 60mm riser bars for her comfort. Looking forward to catching up on all your videos. Just caught up here on the Express channel. Thanks for letting us ride with you!

[@feelfreemtb3474]

Seth after an earthquake: "Oh no, which batteries were recharged!"

Or just an elbow, or moving a case and knocking it over by accident. Switch the order so fully charged stand up and you'll never be taking a battery you think is full but actually is empty and just got knocked over

Quick tip! Instead of using the end of the rope, use one of the coils to wrap around the bundle of rope instead. That way you get a little loop to use as a hanger (:

The flashlight on the floor hack also works really well if you break a glass on the floor and your searching for the broken pieces. Turn the lights in the room down, put the flashlight on the floor and look for the glint!

As a sailor, I commend your rope trick. Small bit of advice for using 3-strand rope: coil it clock-wise. Doing this works with the twist in the rope and completely takes away the potential of it kinking up on you. Ride-on!

[@tazmania17171717]

Quick suggestion for the battery charging station. Instead of having dead batteries standing up and charged batteries down, you should switch that around to have them fail safe incase someone bumps into the table they're on or knocks one over. You could have down=dead and up=alive, that way if one is standing up and gets knocked down the worst that can happen is it goes back on the charger rather than a dead battery getting knocked down causing you to think it's charged and bringing dead batteries to the field.

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

The way to tell if other round cell batteries are dead is to bounce them on a hard surface. Charged batteries won't have much bounce but dead ones will bounce quite high.

[@sstrazzi]

Sounds to me like the real hack here is making dead batteries disappear

[@I.no.ah.guy57]

And then let er rip - the back and forth motion forces the grease inside the cable housing. Quick and mess free.

i know it's been a while since this was posted, but the garbage can hack can be leveled up +1 by drilling a 1/4" hole or two in the bottom of the can on the side. It relieves the vacuum, suction and static that makes the bag hard to pull out, and also allows the back to be perfectly formed to the inside of the can when you put a fresh one in. I know it's hard to drill a hole in a perfectly good can, but it forces you to only use bags in the can keeping everything cleaner.
