Assuming you are right-handed: Start with the stripped wire end wrapped around a pole; Grab the wire in your right hand; pass it around behind your back and grab with your left hand. Hold the knife (or whatever you're cutting with) in your right hand. Hold the wire tight so you're close to the pole and can start cutting where you left off when you stripped the end for the pole. Holding the wire in your left hand and the knife with your right, let the wire slip through you left hand but keep enough grip so it keeps the wire tight. Lean backwards SLIGHTLY to keep tension on the wire. Walk backwards, cutting as you go. Don't lean back so far as to lose your balance and be able to "catch yourself" in case the wire comes loose from the pole. NOTE: You have not wrapped the wire completely around your body - only around behind your back.
