HOW TO WRAP CORDS & CABLES 

O. M. G.!!!!! I watched this at 10pm in bed, and it looked so amazing I got out of bed and tried it on the 100' I had trouble with earlier today. It's a miracle!! Why didn't I learn this before age 63???!!!!!

Brian, I've watched several videos on coiling hoses and cords with this method, but it's always confusing to do in reality. Finally I saw your video - the best one of all! You clearly show how to change the hand position for the "under" loop. You make this clear and easy to actually follow in real life!

This is absolutely the best video on this subject, awesome ! Thanks

Great video, Brian. As supported by @DenverDave203, you maintained the camera at a perfect angle that resulted in a clear and easy-to-grasp demonstration of this technique. Others have executed this method while facing the camera full-on, making it more difficult to learn.

The slow mo of the hand positions helps me so much. Great instructional video

And here we have ANOTHER PROFESSIONAL CORD WRAPPER!!

Every other video I've found about this has a bunch of weird pretentious extra steps and unhelpful descriptions that just make it seem way more confusing than it actually is. Excellent, concise video.

Even better explanation than the last one I saw. A few people can explain this correctly.

Ahhhh the zen of the trees n the breeze made the lesson even more profound!!

An easy, simple and effective solution to an annoying problem. Thanks for your time and effort with this helpful video

I have been using the same method for years. It’s the way to go.

Thank you! I learned this years ago as a stage hand. My team now doesn't seem to get how to do this and stop ruining our 100-200ft extension cables.

Thanks for sharing... with warmest regards from the Northern black forest (Germany) 🌲🌿🌳

Thank you for the clear and easy demonstration. I watched quiet a few before this and I couldn't grasp the concept until I watched yours.

The clearest explanation I have found of this so far! Thanks!!

All these years......simple solution. Good video!!

Good Video - - I've seen this technique before on youtube, but I've never seen it demonstrated as clearly. (I'm confident I can still screw it up though)

Best explanation I found on RU-vid. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼

Thanks for the detailed video. I've seen this approach before but this helped me practice and figure it out which then let me figure out how to do it without the need for the back twist. I then went on a spree, rolling up all the extension cords I could get my hands on, even the 3 foot ones!

Sweet! I'll try it with my longer cords. For my short cords I like the 'Navy' method where you start in the middle.

1 if you are able to hold the cable the whole time it will make your wrapping go faster and this is usually easier if the end faces away from you. 2 in the entertainment industry we do this all the time and we start at the female end so that you can use the male end to make a granny knot around the cable and hold it together and then when you untangle it the knotted/kinky part of the cable is not near the tool or microphone you just plugged it into.

Hi this was so easy to put into practice after watching just once. Excelent video. I like to have an extension cord rolled with big loops as i have found out they dont give trouble after being used a lot👍👍

I've known about this but never understood the technique. Now I do, thanks!

Your approach is very clearly 🙄 demonstrated 🎉🎉🎉 Thankyou 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thanks, greetings from the hill country in Southern Spain where we have had plenty of cords to spread out and untangle!

This works like a charm! Thank you.

can't wait to get home and try that out. Wonder who thought of that? I'm 64, about time I do it right.

Thank you!

Thank you. Time and above all, cord saving. Excellent video.

Best, neatest method of all. Thank you.

This might be the best demonstration of this technique I've seen yet. Most of them don't show the hand grabbing it so I was grabbing it the same way every coil and trying to turn the cord. I'm like you used to be, mine are a mess. I was going to use the daisy chain method but will give this another shot.

Thanks Boss. Love your technique I use to use the elbow to roll my cord not no more after I saw your way love it you the best.

I used it on my 50 extension and it worked great 👍 I also worked on my ear bud cord without an tangles

nice thanks man this is very well demonstrated

Thanks dude, you make it look so easy. Cheers

Can't wait to try this today.

Thank you for the clear instructions. Can’t wait to try it 🤪

THANK YOU !!!!

thanks, I really needed this for my work

woooooow this video is the best one always i get confused with others this video needs a like but anyway why there is only this way that keeps everyone repeating it as i see its somekind complicated specially when there is a long cable

Thanks Brian!

Thanks for the video =)

Another good tip!

The best of the best! Thank You very much

Thanks very helpful😊.

Great tip! Thanks.

30 seconds into this video and I was thinking, “I wonder what part of Pittsburgh this guy’s from n’nat.” 👍🏻👍🏻

Learned something new today thx

this definitely helps with my longer cords - seems my shorter cords are too stiff or something so they don't wrap as easily.

thanks dad

Full Mark's! Video composition is excellent including framing, step motion-captions, seamlessly zooming out during toss. Educational techniques are excellent with detailed positioning guides, repetition, and sequential partitioning. Hey did you learn educational techniques. You engender trust, even in a short video. I can trust whatever you present (perform) will be well thought out, explained, and demonstrated. Now how about some diagrams of the cord's internal wires motion and twists caused by various wrapping styles. Explain and demonstrate how we goofed up and how to do it properly. Reorient our visual and tactic intentions as we influence the internal wires during wrapping. Give us X-ray vision into the cord's structure and its movements. You think from the viewers perspective. You plan successes for us during each segmented phase of the process. I muted you and showed my wife (killer & short circuit master of all cord's, headphones, vacuum cleaners, & extension cords - she can knot up anything without trying!) the video. She got it!! She was so excited she practiced on 8 different extension cords while I played tripod for her phone video. "Go get another one" she said. This is from a long history of disappointing failures which made her avoid cords and ropes. That is a grand video. 4 thumbs up!

Can u show one doing it on the ground! Please bro my job counts on it. We do.over under on the ground because sometimes it's 400 feet of cable

Thx

WOW!!!

You should have been a teacher. I've watched many videos on this which are confusing. Yours is not confusing. Thanks

Just as important is how to unwrap it without getting knots!

Brilliant!

Thank you. I am going to try this when i get home. My step father is a contractor and he said "NUH UHH PUT IT DOWN! YOU'RE JUST GOING TO TWIST THE CORD!" (gently chastised me) haha. I cant really hear what youre saying in the video because we're at the campground and its very noisy. Im guessing this helps to not twist extension cords etc correct? I want to learn because of this incident but he wont teach me 😅😅 hes a busy guy. I hsually only use short extension cords (10 feet), but i have some ethernet cables i need to learn how to wrap those as well.

I'm assuming that this method will work the same when wrapping a garden hose back onto the hook on ones home? I always get a twist.. Also should the nozzle be left open so water will drain as hose is wrapped? TY Joe

Hi! Which microphone are you using? It sounds very well although there is a lot of wind... Thanks!

This is how cords are wrapped for shows. However, if you need to wrap hundreds of cords, the method is different. Instead of the end of the cord facing toward you, it is facing away. Then you can just roll the cord over or under with just a twist of your thumb, a hell of a lot faster when you get good at it.

When i throw out my cord it forms a noose around my neck

Always sucks when you realize you've been getting it right this whole time and have just been disappointed with the result :/

Thank you!
