This invention relates to a life-line spool. The life-line has always played an important role in life-saving. To manage large quantities of line during transport or during rescue work, a line reel, a line box or a line bag is used. I have found that a life-line spool is an alternative to the box, the bag or to the reel. With this spool, the life-line is easy to transport, easily uncoiled when pulled out on the rescue and can be just as easily coiled back on the spool during or after the rescue. The spool is made of one long bar with two smaller parallel bars fixed perpendicular to it so as to divide the long bar in three sections. The two parallel bars serve both as handles and as line support-bars. The center section of the long bar serve as the frame of the spool and the two end section serve as line retainer-bars to hold the line so the coils of line do not fall off the line support-bars. To coil the life-line, the line is tied to one of the support-bars; the spool is held by the end of the two support-bars which serve as handles; the life-line is coiled around the support-bars by executing a long circular movement of the spool from side to side and by catching the line with the retainer-bars which extend pass both handles. To carry the life-line, the spool is held with the line support-bars pointing up so the line does not fall off the spool. To unwind the life-line, the spool is held by the long frame-bar with the two parallel line support-bar pointing in the direction the line needs to be pulled out. When the line is pulled, it freely uncoils from the spool. To stop and to recoil the line, the spool is simply reversed and held by the two handles.
