The Easiest Way to Coil Ropes, Extension Cords, & Hoses!

How to Coil Paracord, Rope, Extension Cord, and Hose Tangle Free. These are my favourite 5 methods to use, including quick releases, handles, and a daisy chain / chain sinnet.
Choose which one works for you depending on your rope length or type. There are some for smaller ropes and some for larger, thicker cords and hoses!

Thanks, Everyone, for watching - This one was just fast and straight to the point; if it was too fast, just slow down the speed on any of the techniques (my apologies, I didn't want it to drag on and on!) If you want to support the channel and pick up one of my knot tying kits or any BE Gear - Heres the website: www.bearessentialsoutdoors.ca And heres the AMAZON USA link for the knot tying kit on there: www.amazon.com/dp/B0CV4J4BKB?maas=maas_adg_97509F8C72EF4B0621284CA42F0CD705_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas

I’ve seen these before explained by other KZbin channels, but there is something about the simplicity you show that makes it special. My favorite knot tying channel

[@TheBearEssentials]

Thank you so much!

[@jfreedner]

​@@TheBearEssentialsI find your explanations to be really clear and concise, with no ambiguity and no extraneous information to confuse the matter. Great channel. Keep up the good work. 🙏🙂

Wow, thank you! I really dont want to waste anyone's time haha, try to get straight to the point with as little filler as possible. The longer drawn out stuff can be saved for my long form adventure vids :)

Wonderful video! Good camera work, narration is focused, instructions are clear, background music is unobtrusive, and the tips are awesome. Thanks for taking the time.

[@d4mdcykey]

Exceptional work, as always, DJ, I saw a couple here I had not thought about in many years, and I appreciate your to-the-point methodology.

[@mrhalfstep]

I'd like to point out that there's one advantage of the daisy chain method over the alternate twist method for storing long extension cords. Since you end up with the male and female ends of the cord side by side at the same end of the chain, you can simply pay out as much as you need and leave the rest as a chain in the middle of the cord. In other words, you could pull out 12 1/2 feet of a 50 foot cord and you would have 25 feet of cord to work with and the remainder would still be nicely bundled as a chain. When finished you just rechain the 12 1/2 feet. I prefer that to trying to figure out which way to start looping the cord back into a coil.

[@TheBearEssentials]

GREAT info! thank you for adding this. I wish I thought of mentioning that. Glad to have your insight here for everyone reading.

[@osmia]

Yeah I noticed that too right away. Immediately thought of my hundred foot extension cord hanging up in a long coiled loop in my basement. That's going to change next time I bring it out (or maybe even before)

[@mikejeffsteel]

thank you for this video, your instructions are so easy to follow

[@marcydrake9159]

That last trick with the chain is basically crochet done with your hand instead of a crochet hook. Pretty cool! 😎

[@TheBearEssentials]

Oh cool, never thought of it that way at all. Thx for saying this!!

[@TanisSpangle]

Instead of making it into a chain, you could crochet anything and unravel it 🤔

My 30m extension cord in the corner of the room: 🐉

[@generationxdad]

Great video DJ🙌. I use the palm hanking for my tent and tarp cordage all the time, and the forearm figure 8 as well as the overhand-underhand technique work awesome for extension cords, Ethernet cabling and the garden hoses at the shop 👍.

[@TheBearEssentials]

Good stuff! Thx for watching and I'm glad you're versed in these already! Ethernet cable, man, that's one I hadn't thought about in a long time!!

[@generationxdad]

@@TheBearEssentials ​ Haha I have not had a need to hank any sort of electronics cabling for a while because other than for wireless routers at home, most lengths I would use are short and simply for connecting equipment that is close together. I am still mildly OCD and do cord management at home, but it is still not a length that requires anything special other than some zip ties or maybe some wire loom 😄. At work, however, your forearm figure-8 technique comes in super handy. I am a licensed mechanic in a shop and we have a special tool through Snap-On that is a remote access pass-through computer for reflashing vehicle modules, and it has to be connected directly to the server/modem for the shop via an Ethernet cable. It came with a 40 m length of cable so it could reach most bays in the shop and the last time I tried to use it, clearly the last person did NOT use any of your methods because it was a nightmare to untangle🥴🥴🥴. When I was done using the tool, I wrapped it up using the figure-8 method and it worked like a charm 👌. A coworker this week needed to use it and when he went to unravel the cable, it was all ready to go I showed him the figure-8 method too and he loved it 😁.

[@rainydaylady6596]

That last way reminds me of crochet. That's why making a mistake when crocheting can unravel your whole piece. I'm wondering if it would be possible to make something using the same technique.

[@TheBearEssentials]

That’s actually a really cool idea.. I mean with enough rope you could technically make yourself a hammock like this then?

I'd love to see this done with a 2 inch hose, These bastards don't wanna do as they are told. For 37 years at work I have been trying to figure a way to roll them up lol.... I have hoped we could have some sort of reels made but, no, you'll just roll them up the crap way, we have to string the hose out straight to try and un coil it then we can use it, then string it out to roll it back up, does my head in lol... Oh yeah, added this video to my collection of your videos.

[@TheBearEssentials]

Ah man, I honestly don’t know what can be done for 2 inch hose.. At the firehall all the firehose we’d use are laid, or rolled for storage - a few options there, and small 1 3/4 bumper line on some trucks would be on a big reel. Never seen it coiled up! Wish I could help ya!

[@Zendukai]

@@TheBearEssentials No worries chief, i'm close to retirement. I'm currently being trained in a EAF plant, its the dirtiest place in the world. Companies here in Australia "give" us their dirt, its Electronic arc furnace dirt, its full of goodies for our smelter, it contains a nasty chloride, so the mets and engineers created this balls up of a system to wash this dirt and lower the chlorides out. But with all this dirt, everything gets coated in dirt and we hose off what we can without hosing power controls. We need power water that can move this dirt that fluffs off onto everything into a sludge pit, these hoses are heavy mofos and hard to roll up, you have to be a gym fanatic to have the strength to roll the bastards up lol.

This doesn’t work with Thick 200V cables

[@paaao]

Please don't be that guy who does this to extension cords. It just makes them impossible to lay out straight, flat, and clean. Maintenance guys love to do this and then when the cords need to be laid out for an event, rolls of duct tape or gaffers tape are also needed to keep the cords from curling up everywhere and creating trip hazards. Plus just an overall trashy look because they don't stay along building lines, in cracks, etc...

[@TheBearEssentials]

Who does which one. And what is your expert suggestion of the proper way?

[@artgarza5470]

Good instructor has lots of information on how to use knot. Wish that he would give details of how to use knots but keep it just showing how to make the knot and stop going into other details as to how to apply usesage over .it is over to much examples on each knot.

[@LKDesign]

A bit of a shame this doesn't contain the daisy chain looping over itself to create a compact donut-shaped storage. Takes a bit of patience and effort but can look quite nice.

[@TheBearEssentials]

Hey how does that differ from method number 5? Genuinely curious

[@LKDesign]

@@TheBearEssentials Hi. It is being demonstrated in this video at 9:53: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYOxlZiKmcxqhK8si=9i9wiCTKKnXNPXWM The size can be varied and I like to make the last bit into a small handle like you have also shown in your video. Cheers.

[@TheBearEssentials]

​@@LKDesign Oh with paracord! Yeah, that is too complex for me to ever consider using. I filmed doing that one and the pear knot for this video - and scrapped all the footage because they're just not realistic for my audience.. - (both are more decorative and cool but too complex) I mainly just show practical and realistic ways for average people.That method seems a bit too niche. I'm glad there is already a video on ite, though! Cheers.
