Simple, novel way to wrap an extension cord that prevents tangling. It's easy to store by hanging on a hook.

Never occured to me
I've been daisy chaining my rock climbing ropes for years but it never occurred to me to use the same knot on extension chords. Great idea!

- I didn't know until I was 21 or so
  Yeah, i had this guy from Oklahoma teach me back in the day. I was so impressed. I figured if I hadn't ever seen it before, that others may not have also.

and..
thats actually a well known trick, i used to do it at work all the time until i found out its actually bad for the cord. If you use a cord a lot then you need it straight, and the key to that is "training" you cord which means you pull it out straight and while you are pulling it back in you keep it from twisting, you want a good uniform loop each time you wrap it. doing that crap just gets it all crazy looking, oh and good luck doing that in the winter.

  i was gonna mention that it was a bit sloppy too. o and as far as "winter" i guess it really depends where you live, cuz that would never be a problem here in san diego :)
