Tip: Extension Cords (and how to coil them)
Everyone needs an extension cord (or "stinger") or two when snaking power from a nearby wall outlet. These come in several shapes and sizes and today I share a few of my own and my DIY method of storing them. Something else everyone should know is how to properly coil a cable. If done wrong, you end up with a snarled mess when you try to use it. If done right, the cord will always fall away from itself properly, allowing instant use. The technique for doing this is easy to master, but might be something you've never heard of.

Over under, circles and lines...tips I heard starting out that sounded like a witch's brew.
If you have excess stinger after coiling it up, put the coil underneath the light stand to avoid accidents. It will also prevent tension and keep the line slack leading up to the light itself.
This is completely incorrect. Electrical is over over.
