rope/coil/8/daisy chain
For those of us that can remember 3 strand (hemp/manila) would coil easily after worked a few times. The new synthetics figure 8 as you try to coil them, they are by the lay of the rope designed to figure eight, until they are well worked they will want to figure 8. My experience is like others, flake it into the bag or bucket and it comes out just as easy as it went in. I do on occasion coil the synthetic to hang it to dry out when it gets wet. 150'-200' hank fits into a 5 gallon bucket or kitty litter bucket with snap on lid for easy storage. Longer ropes flake into plastic tub. It just makes storage easier. Just make sure your ropes are dry when you put them away otherwise they get to stinking. There are still uses for the three strand but they are now synthetic also and tend to figure 8 when you try to coil them. Once the ropes get a good workout(weeks or months) they will coil easier but how many of you change ropes end to end when you use your ropes so they get worked form one end to the other job to job? "Hey Mr. your chainsaw blade is on upside down" You'll hear that too. They think you're an idiot and don't know how to maintain a saw either, it just shows the depth of the customers knowledge or lack thereof. I dasiy chained lots of electric wires on the constrution site because it left less (took up less space on the floor) to trip over, it fed out easily, it works for ropes also.
) but the rope almost always pays out without any tangles. I just haven't switched on my rigging rope 'cause I'm old fashioned and cheap. Try flaking/stuffing-you will like it.
