How to coil a rope…
1) Take both ends in one hand, then pull out two full arm's lengths of rope and drop it by your side.
2) Pull out an arm's length of rope and lay it across your hand, forming a loop.
3) Pull out another arm's length of rope and lay it across your palm in the opposite direction from the first one. You should now have a loop
of rope hanging on either side of your hand.
4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you reach the middle of the rope.
5) Take the length of rope from step 1 and start wrapping it around the loops of rope you're holding, starting near the middle of the loops and
wrapping toward your hand.
6) When you have about 6' of rope left, push both ends though the hole in the top of the coil (below the hand that's holding the rope). These
become your shoulder "straps".
7) Put the coil on your back with a "strap" over each shoulder. Cross them over the coil behind you and tie them around your waist. You're
done.
If you don't need to carry the coil on your back, just make a few more wraps in step 5, pass a loop through the top of the coil, pass the ends
through the loop and tie off.
