Figure 5. Old Navy Method

Step 1. Coil the rope: Take care to lay each coil carefully into place, twisting it a
half turn so it will lay without twisting. Then, grasp the main body of the rope
with one hand and place your thumb through the eye of the coils to hold them in
place as shown in figure 5, step 1.

Step 2. Remove the last two coils of rope; take this long free end, and wind it
around the main body of the rope several times (figure 5, step 2). Wind the free
end downward, toward the hand holding the rope body. Wind evenly and snugly.
Don’t make the coils too tight.
