Hot take: Hand-rolling 35mm is asking for trouble compared to a bulk loader

I spent two hours last night in my bathroom in Portland trying to hand-roll a 36-exposure roll from a bulk spool and ended up with light leaks across half the frames. Switched to a used bulk loader I got for $20 and the first roll came out perfect. Has anyone else found hand-rolling just isn't worth the hassle?

My friend wasted a whole roll trying hand-rolling in his kitchen (with the lights off).

Relax, it's just film not rocket science.
