Saw that too
Speedy way to coil; and I don’t think it puts a twist in the rope. Like FE says, it needs some practice so it comes naturally when you need it. Of course, that goes for throwing a rope, too.
I’ve switched to this
Another student in a SWR instructor cert class demonstrated it.
I find it to be a much quicker and more consistent way to re-throw. One suggestion, is to find a balance between tight enough to stay on your arm but not so tight that you have to struggle to get the coils off.
Cool, can’t wait to try it
hey
That’s how I wind up my extension cords, then I just tie the last bit around the middle.
