We daisy chain them. Fold in half, then in half again, then daisy chain. Here's a description of the process in general: https://designlifehacks..com/2017/12...ur-long-ropes/


Spend the $24.88 USD and get the garden hose reel. Simple, very fast, dirt cheap.

The method I described above produces the absolutely smallest result. And you pull the rope out from the center with no tangling. Plus, there is zero additional cost.

No additional cost... except the time it takes to wind 200 ft of rope around your hand, which is about 20x longer than it takes to wind it up on a hose reel. And, you don't have to worry about your arms getting worn out manually winding all of that rope and dealing with its weight.
