I ordered 100m of paracord on a reel from someone on EBay. The person selling it was kind enough to get it out on next day delivery, however when I opened my package I was gobsmacked at how it arrived. The reel had split apart and the cord was everywhere. I plan on using it tomorrow so you can imagine the work I have ahead of me tonight!

That'll keep you out of mischief for a while!

My local Army Surplus store had some paracord delivered like that
The owner sold it to me at cost as he could not be bothered with untangling it ... luckily for me it was not actually as bad as it looked and half an hour had it sorted

Oddly, I love untangling string, rope, cord etc.

That happened to my Web-tex roll. Will never buy one of theirs again! Previous rolls have stayed together, web-tex suck.

Good 2 hours of work and its finally untangled and wound back on the spindle. My hands are incredibly cramped now!

Anyone fancy untangling a 100yd long net? Had an incident with a sheep which had strayed into the 'stock free' field!

Me too.

A mass like that, I would imagine a grab and shake technique would help as it's not been pulled tight...
