More secure than the Half Hitch Coil, the Buntline Coil can either be hung up or simply laid down in a locker without coming undone. Coil up the rope in the usual manner but leave a long tail. Pass this working end round and round the coils (in an upward direction) to bind them together. Then push a bight through the top of the coils. Lift it up and spread it out so that it can drop down over the coils to lie at the top of the frapping turns. All is then worked tight and the fall may be used to hang the coil up. The Gasket Coil can also (as it was originally) be used to tidy up a fixed line in situ.
