For short lengths I've been using 16.6' lengths (100' cut into six lengths) and then make the bundles that Art shows - though I make more wraps around the bundles and finish with a clove hitch. My dad taught me that method many many years ago. It might have an interlaced loop or two, but its no big deal with that length.

I find the 16+' lengths to be excellent for most uses around the campsite - tent lines, short runs for drying gear, etc ....

I still haven't found a good method for bundling longer lengths (50'-100') of thin (1/4"-3/8") cord. I've tried just using bigger bundles, but it still gets tangled a bit.

Any ideas for the longer lengths of thin cord?
