Pack Coil
The Pack Coil looks shabby, but it's the simplest, quickest, and least twist-inducing method of coiling
the rope. Start with both ends in one hand, heave three to four arm spans of rope onto the ground, then
begin collecting the rest in the palm of one hand. When you're done, you can carry the rope on your
back, pack-style, using the ends of the rope as two handy shoulder straps and wrapping them around
your trunk. Finish the ''waist belt" with a Square Knot.
