Starting the butterfly coil with the rope-ends side works great as long as one is working with a well-flaked rope that you're sure has no significant kinks/twists; otherwise, you might end up working the kinks/twists in toward the center of the rope ... could get messy. If you're unsure (e.g. a dynamic rope used with a MUnter or belay device placed under strain) , working from the center outward allows those kinks to spill off the ends - you could then tie a square knot (or whatever) to form the loop to hang the coil.

Dear Richard. This has been one of the best youtube videos I have seen. Thank you!

This is a great video. I ca't wait to coil my rope this way. This guy really knows his stuff

When your eysight is too bad to understand this tutorial with paracord - Richard has your back. :D

Awesome video

Thank you 🙏🏽

Thanks

The Best way to coil a rope is the combine both the mountaineer's and the butterfly. After making the butterfly loops tie them off with the mountaineer's tie off. This makes two equal coils which drape equally on both sides of your pack. Steve Thaw, Moraga, California

This method is used by cavers. If you would keep the coil over your neck, then you would get dirty and wet from the rope.

As an arborist. ( never coil a rope) it will become hockeled. Just flake it into a bag or bucket and keep the end seperate.
