Right now I have all this Paracord of all colors and it is just in a plastic Wal Mart bag and it gets all tangled and can be a real pain to unravel all of it and get it straightened out. So do you guys have any inventive and creative ways to keep the Paracord nice and neat?
 
Wrap it around a piece of cardboard. Cut a 10"x4" end off a box, and notch it at the ends. The end of the paracord goes in the notch and start winding like if it was in a spool, easy fix and no more tangles.
 
I use the containers that my wife gets when she buys crystal light. I just stuff the paracord in, then I cut a X in the lid and poke the end of the paracord through. Its cheap and easy to just throw in my pack if I need too. I wrapped the container in grey duck tape, with the end of the paracord sticking out it kind of looks like a stick of dynamite.
 
I suppose you could use cb4life's idea but with prescription pill holder instead of a crystal light container. If you're using a pringles can, you're bringing to much parachord.
 
Crystal light container holds about 50' of cord comfortably. You could probably get more in there in you really stuff. I use a dental floss container to carry fishing line and it is really compact.
 
I use those 16.9 oz. water bottles. Just stuff the cord in and poke a small hole in the lid for it do dispense from. Holds about 100 ft and its easy to just throw a bottle in a pack when i am heading out.
