  • Getting your garden hose to coil up into a perfect circular bundle is nearly impossible unless you learn the secret. I'll teach you the secret. Then you'll be hose-rolling with the best of them!

    Man... I was just trying to organize my hose, saw this video and found it to be really, really funny. And it worked! Subscribed.
    But then I was watching my other subscriptions and I thought “that guy surely reminded me of Dave from the Flight of the Conchords show”
    AND IT IS YOU
    THAT IS SO COOL
    THANK YOU FOR EXISTING

      If you like rolling hoses up incorrectly this is one way.
      As soon as he grabs the end of the hose and starts walking it's going to start twisting and kinking and that's what you want to really avoid!!!
      Everybody really should learn the over under method that some people know, the navy uses it, the fire department use it and many other people and construction sites use it, etc.
      You can even leave it hooked up to the faucet and then anybody can grab the end of the hose and start walking the hose out and it will not kink or twist!

    I give you full props for wearing eye pro. I work where using chain saw chaps, eye-pro, ear-pro is seen as for newby's or woosies. MEN don't need that! Would rather show their 'scars' how they lost an eye, deaf as door knob etc. I have come to appreciate stero scopic vision and hearing without saying "Eh, what's that you say young fella?"

      Much love for pointing out stupid male tendency to self-harm! In my family, they also rather stop bicycling altogether than "unman" themselves on a so-called Lady’s bike, as soon as they can’t swing their leg over the manly sports bikes anymore.

  • @TheKarmaMan
    @TheKarmaMan Před 4 lety +20

    If you’re going to use the hose again soon, leave it attached to faucet and coil it up from faucet end in a figure of 8 pattern on ground to avoid twisting of hose. It’ll peel out without tangles when pulling from nozzle end.

  • @danshackelford
    @danshackelford Před 4 lety

    Okay. I thought this had no chance of working with my hose because for some unknown reason the manufacturer of my hose thought it was a good idea to coil it from two different directions, but I’m starting to see that that’s the way most come, I guess. I still don’t understand why, though. Anyway, I have tried this same thing with my hose, but I guess I wasn’t patient enough, or tried to do it with just the part that wound “the wrong way.” Well, long story a little longer, I did the whole hose that way, and it worked almost perfectly. I had to bend it a little harder in some spots, but in the end, I have a nicely wound hose. Thanks.

    This is exactly how not to roll it....lol. By twisting it like that it ends up twisted up when you unroll it. That means your always twisting it around. The over/under technique is the correct one. Sorry.

    • @chinoto1
      @chinoto1 Před 5 lety

      Slightly counterintuitive, but the hose will twist and kink if you don't twist the hose in the opposite direction as you coil it. When you uncoil it, you'll need to twist in reverse to avoid kinks.
