Default tow rope handling

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.
