Comment on You should know how to coil cables

  Here’s your way with “always over” and “applying a twist with thumb & index finger every time i loop the cable” versus the proper way to do it.

  You literally say you twist the cable as you’re coiling it. That’s why there’s a twist in it. You can even see in the video that once I start to coil it your way the loose end start to twist even though I started with a straight rope.

    That looks convincing and I’d have to try myself with an actual cable to experience the difference. Until then I guess you win.

    Why didn’t you use an actual cable?

      It doesn’t really matter. A rope, hose or a cable all behave the same. This piece of paracord illustrates the point and as you said, you can try it out yourself.

      Also, I applaud you for being able to admit when you’ve been wrong. That’s rare nowdays.
