There are several coiling and Daisy chaining methods for rope storage. But what’s an elegant way of coiling the excess rope at the end knot?
The best I can think of is an upside down gasket coil, with the rope coming out of the last knot forming a gasket for the rest of it, coiled. Is there a better way?
Depending on how much surplus beyond the knot, I generally tie a Heaving line knot.
Hi mcjtom,
I use this method with ratchet straps, but maybe it could be adapted to rope depending on the situation?
The part I am referring to starts at 7.12, hopefully I have it set to start there.

You possibly wouldn’t have to do the first step as you wouldn’t need to secure that coil of rope quite that much.
Funny that I haven’t tried it with rope myself but use it with ratchet straps.
It would also depend on how much rope you were dealing with.
Thank you - great method for the trucker hitch!
