Butterfly coil

This coil is used by climbers for carrying rope,

but it is equally useful in other scenarios. To add a
harness, put the coil on your back, one end over

each shoulder. Pass the ends back under your
armpits, over the coil, and forward again, securing

them around your waist with a reef knot.

1 Fold the line in half and coil it in the usual way, starting with the ends

and finishing with the bight.
