Detailed Description
This method of coiling a rope is very traditional. It is also called the Alpine Coil.
However, many people do not prefer it because the coiling tends to cause twists/kinks in the rope.
The advantages are that it makes a nice circle that can be carried on a shoulder like a beauty queen sash. It is also easy to attach to a backpack. Another bonus is that it can be used to as an improvised carrying seat to help 2 people carry out a third person that can't walk. Because of these advantages and because it has a long tradition it is worth learning even if you use a different coiling method most of the time.
