If you google "flaking a rope" you will find that thwe procedure is used by both sailors and rock climbers to keep coils of rope untangled and ready for instant access. Here is a way to do the same with paracord so that the whole length is readily available. You will use the "Figure eight" loom described here http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...ord-the-Tamale
Leaving a 6" or so long tail wrap cord a couple of times around tie off point and bring cord to right up side A.
