I always just slung mine in the middle of the collapsed tent and then folded it up. Never had a problem with tangles

Nah I don't tie mine up.  Just leave them to dangle, with a better chance of drying out.

Never had problems with them tangling up ;)

Friday morning, I had never even heard of hanking, let alone hanked, but lo, here we are Sunday eve, and I was hanking for TeamGB, when I struck camp earlier today!

There are a few vids on yoo toob, but I tied off the same as this guy, using the first formed loop to trap the end, so to speak.
see hanking vids here......

Picked it up quickly, as it's not as difficult as I imagined.

So, thanks for the help, as always...... oh, and I'll bear in mind the warning re tied lines holding on to moisture!!!

Cheers,
Mucker

Just leave them too - kids prefer no knots when they are rolling down the length of the tent to expel the air!!  Say it gives them bruises!!

Our Khyam tent has little bags which you stuff the 4 main guy ropes in & tie up.  On every single camping trip since we bought the tent in 2004, my husband has mocked me for using the bags. However, he has also thanked me on every single subsequent trip as it makes for less tangles!
