Ceiling Fan Pull Chain issue

[RobWNY]

I've read numerous posts on several forums about how the pull chain on their ceiling fan wraps around one of the blades during travel. Mine does as well. Each time we go camping, I have to get out a step stool and unwind it. Twice, the fan has been turned on and the chain was pulled out because we forgot to unwind the chain. Then off to the hardware store I go to buy a new pull chain mechanism. Does everyone just add this to their list of "Don't forget to do these things" or is there a better solution?

Fold the chain back on itself a couple of times to shorten it, and wrap a rubber band around to hold it during travel.
