Dan I’ve been a Boy Scout Leader for 24 years. This video is by Far THE BEST Teaching method I have Ever seen for the Tri Pod last. Awesome Job !!!!! I am sharing this video for sure.
*Consider leaving enough extra cordage at the end that you can use to either hang things under the tripod or secure a tarp or other material on top of or around the tripod.*
The comments under these videos always crack me up- you get to see all the inventive ways ppl come up with to brag without bragging. Not everyone- some ppl just thank you for the tips and move on but- then you get the other guys.... I was thinking the other day we really shouldn't ever hear of anyone else dying of exposure or dehydration ever again- because according to TH-cam comments almost everyone is a survival expert.
I'm going to have to watch this again.....I lost the first 10mins just staring at him. ❤️Lol Second time around---great video! Handy info and good to know for what's to come.....when SHTF! SOON 2022
I have watched a lot of bush craft videos over the years… I have learnt more in watching a couple of yours than all the previous videos on other channels. Clear instructions and advice, great presentation. Subscribed and this is my goto channel! Keep the great content coming! 😊
That one is a tripod lashing with plain turns, the other (not shown) is a tripod lashing with "racking turns" where you weave in and out between the poles.The one with racking turns will provide less slippage since there is more cordage in contact with each pole. Your method is faster and most likely good enough for most applications. I had only known the one with the "racking turns" so was interested when I saw you do this method.
I was wondering why in the end he showed the poles separated without showing how or why, was a bit confusing for this newbie. Your comment helped clarify the difference. Thanks!
Definitely will be working on this with my daughter. She and I have been learning to tie knots and need a tripod for our Dutch oven that's on the way. Thanks for the video.
As young I was taught the rule of thumb to make the number of lashings so that the it's at least as wide as half the thickness of the poles. I haven't really made any tests to find out if it really matters but it has always made for really good tripods.
At 2 minutes when your talking about trimming remember you don't want to get too crazy trimming some small bumps can help hold together when lash if it's too smooth things can slide friction can be your friend to add strength
Great video! I'm more of a glamper, but I recently took over a Girl Scout troop, so I'm trying to learn useful skills to pass onto our 4th and 5th graders. This will be perfect.
Man this time of year when the vines and roots are strong and supple this is an excellent time to try this technique and “save your resources” as another of your excellent videos is titled. I’m in the woods tomorrow.... can’t wait to try this. As always, thanks for making us better, Dan.
Thanks for the refresher training! I'm glad I found your channel and you have a new subscriber. Taking the grand-monkeys out this afternoon and we'll be making these today. :)
I like the tripod lash. I have an idea for a simple adjustable pot hanger you may want to try. Tie a loop in one end of a 5 foot piece of paracord and a stop knot in the other end. Next tie a pursic knot near the stop knot. Hang the line on one of the end poles of the tripod by the pursic loop. Attach the pot to the loop end of the paracord. To adjust the height of the pot just grasp the pursic knot with your thumb and index finger and pull the paracord through the knot in the direction you want the pot to go. Simple and easy, you probably carry a few small pieces of cordage anyway so perhaps one could be used for multiple purposes. Thanks for the great videos.
I've been watching SO many videos looking for easy reference for my Scouts (working on Scouts Canada Outdoor Adventure Skills Scout Craft (levels 4 - 7) and I think this is the very best video I've ever seen in any of these skills - from knots, lashing, knife, axe, saw, emergency shelters or fire building. THANK YOU!
Hello! Great video, just one comment: the final knot you put on the poles at 9:23 looks like a Constrictor Hitch rather than a Clove Hitch. They've very similar, and in a case like this where you want to maintain the tension I think the Constrictor is a great choice, but I figured I'd mention it in case other people look up the Clove Hitch and get a different knot. Thanks for all your great content over the years!
this is crazy cool cause it's really the little things that can make or break survival, I always see other channels building shelters and they just say, "Lash 4 saplings" but they never tell you how to properly lash
I have seen a lot of video showing hot tents supported by poles outside the tent, so lashing the poles is important. I use lashing for my tripod seat I purchased. I didn’t want the tripod in my backpack, so I carry only the cordura seat. I cut suitable length and diameter sticks in camp, lash it together for the seat.
I've only seen your content in the last month and really enjoy it. You seem to have a genuine affection for what you do, but more importantly, you seem to have little ego involved in your lessons. Keep up the great work. Subscribed.
I'm making climbing bean tipod trellises for my wife. I only have a ball of cordage and branches to make it with. This video allowed me to make a tripod. I used these concepts to bind the sides with an X, but without crossing lines. It looks crisp and clean, and my wife loves it. Cost me $0.75 in total materials from the twine's initial purchase. Great video!
Outstanding! Great photography which many other videos don’t have. I could SEE what you were doing and your fingers weren’t covering up what we want to SEE!! Thank you, love your channel. 👍🏻😊
I truly appreciate you. I'm from the bricks and new nothing about survival until I started learning from you Bushcraft guys. I'm on my way to learning how to survive, just in case the shyt hits the fan, because of you guys so kudos to you! 💯
As you make the frappings, lift one of the poles to make it easier to pass the cord through. Have somebody assist, or if you are alone, put another stick crosswise to hold one pole non-parallel. That is all you need. Make it easy.
brilliant..thank you.. also good for garden.. I can grow tomatoes up a tripod without needing to shove the logs into the ground.. so no rot.. so reusable..
@DAN Hey brother, at 6:30, you need to step on the 3 poles and I get a great look at your shoe. Are you wearing "minimalist" shoes the barefoot runners are always looking for? You have dozens of videos I've yet to watch, do you have one on good recommendations of shoes you wear in the bush?
Love the detail in your video. Been using that one for years but I always like to see how other guys do things, never know when you can learn a better way! Keep it up and God bless you and yours.
Thanks Dan! This was much more clear than in the Townsend's video. And I didn't know till now that the knot I use in sewing is a half-hitch! Mind blown! ☺️
Nice bit of punk wood you are leaning on. I'm going to take my soul tribe into our bug out location with paracord and try this. We'll prepare the wood in advance and cache the paracord, tarp and fire-making kit. I was busy making charcloth yesterday from a bath towel. Denim makes great charcloth. The girls and I need to practice setting up a campfire.
omg finally i found a video where someone tells me how to do this, ive been looking for freakin 3 years not knowing the right words to get this to pop up
Awesome video and explanation. I used that lashing for my quad pod that I made for a pendulum counterweight for when I made a better way to use my pocket chainsaw. Stay safe and be well. Thanks for sharing.
Now hang your Dutch oven from a chain attached to a rope. On one tripod member place screws or nails intermittently so that you can adjust your Dutch oven higher or lower. Happy cooking
Thanks For The Refresher! I Learned This Back In The 60's In Boy Scouts. The Handbook Back Then Had A Whole Section On Lashing. I've Successfully Used These Technics Many Times, And They Work.. Oh Yeah, I Still Have That Handbook. The 1966 Issue Of The Boy Scout Manuel. Very Good Survival Knowledge Knowledge Base!
Gracias, veo tus videos de hace un tiempo, y he adquirido algunas cosas básicas como mencionas y este febrero iré por primera vez al.bosque. Gracias desde chile.
I'm a wildlife photographer as a deep hobby. Main times I lash a tripod, it's for cooking. Shoot. You can do a shoe knot and it'll be good if you cut groves for the line. I used to help an elder trap for pelt. Both cases we can be out for up to three days on a bag. Great video. If you live in the cold like me, a single candle can heat up a person sized tripod wrapped in a cover. Ps. Moose in Minnesota are hard to find and given brain worm, a bit of a risk.
bushcraft alive & well here in Georgia, i enjoy watching your video's , if your ever down this way , stop by we are always ready to , Fish , Hunt , & camp !!
I’m a sixty four year old and a determined new bush-crafting student. This was much appreciated! Great video. Thank you!
Me too!
Me too!
All 3 of you are 64 year old new Bushcrafters?? Lmao the odds...
Never to old man
54 here. Discovered this new interest in the last couple years. This stuff is fascinating.
I'M 64 AND I'LL TELL YOU THIS STUFF IS JUST AMAZING DUDE AND I CAN'T GET ENOUGH TKU AND PLEASE KEEP IT COMING JOHN S

"THANK GOD FOR CORRDIGE ."🙏👍It's the only thing that has MORE USES THAN MY Swiss army knife!🙋♀️🐶🇬🇧♥️🇺🇸🤝
@@teresahall5835 Cordage!😎
No
Probably just enough to create a small loop in the crotch of the tripod would be enough - could hook a metal chain for cook pot from it.
instablaster...
Just like I learned in Boy Scouts in 1970! Excellent job, good video production and smooth voice. Stay in the Woods!
yea me too and a lot more

Again well done sir. Very well explained and slow enough to show but just fast enough to keep it concise.

Don't tie like this you don't need any cord or knots to put up a tripod use forked tips and stack right they will stay put
@@jolllyroger1 even the Plains Indians lashed their tripod tipi framework.
What an absolute legend of a dad
Just made my first shelter following your videos. 25 years young and teaching the family survival techniques
Nice. Just showed my 6 year old how to do this and made a plough point last night. Stay outdoors, Dan.
This was surprisingly technical and fascinating. I bet some people have been doing this wrong for 40+ years and never thought twice about it.
Cool. Thanks Alot ! From Australia

I've always wondered how this works. Genius.

For over 60 years, I've always latched mine by tieing on one then making a figure eight.😁🤠👍✝️🇱🇷
This looks like an easy one to teach my sons. Thank you.

Explaining _why_ you do each step helps a lot!
Thank you for showing it on you tube have a good night 🙂

Modest and knowledgable. Why can't that be the norm instead of an anomaly? Good on you, Coalcracker..
this is crazy cool cause it's really the little things that can make or break survival, I always see other channels building shelters and they just say, "Lash 4 saplings" but they never tell you how to properly lash
Best shoes I've ever had.

I didn’t want the tripod in my backpack, so I carry only the cordura seat.
I cut suitable length and diameter sticks in camp, lash it together for the seat.
Somehow I missed a lot of the good pioneering in Scouting. Nice to have such a thorough and clean breakdown of such a useful construction. Thank you!
probably one of the handiest knots there is, thank you!
I've only seen your content in the last month and really enjoy it. You seem to have a genuine affection for what you do, but more importantly, you seem to have little ego involved in your lessons. Keep up the great work. Subscribed.
Check out his videos from like... 2-3 years ago. The difference in on-camera confidence is gigantic, honestly
I know this is a 3 year old video but wow 🎉. This has to best video on tripod lashing. I love how you explain not only the how but also the why.
Never really done outdoor stuff but I love your videos and the information they provide. You never know if you need stuff like that

This is sooo cool. I’m a woman and no-one will teach me this stuff but ha ha now I have You Tube and can learn whatever I want! :D
Outstanding! Great photography which many other videos don’t have. I could SEE what you were doing and your fingers weren’t covering up what we want to SEE!! Thank you, love your channel. 👍🏻😊
Thanks for both versions. Rope and lashing skills cannot be understated.
Well. I was a boyscout, and I though I knew lashings pretty well. I was wrong. Very in depth video
If you wer a boy Scout how much were you melested
Used to this as a Boy Scout in the early sixties, you just jogged many pleasant memories. THANK YOU!!!
What a cool channel!
When you did the 3 knot video for UCO, what size was the black paracord you used for the ends of the white rope? Ty
Rudiments are integral & I'm one of those guys still learning MANY basics. Thanks for publishing!
I truly appreciate you. I'm from the bricks and new nothing about survival until I started learning from you Bushcraft guys. I'm on my way to learning how to survive, just in case the shyt hits the fan, because of you guys so kudos to you! 💯

thank you. you made it so easy when others made it complicated
Thank you so much even though I am 73 years old now, but I have some things to show off with my grand kids.
Hi, just want to say Thank You for this Video. Very good video. Me and my boys enjoy how you teach us. So, hi from Indonesia and we thank You
Good video. I frap from the shorter side; makes it easier to pull through and tension; the direction doesn’t matter.
brilliant..thank you.. also good for garden.. I can grow tomatoes up a tripod without needing to shove the logs into the ground.. so no rot.. so reusable..
Very helpfull!! I was searching exactly for this for making a support for my tree before the storm.. Thank you very much..
A nice highly detailed demonstration of a shear lashing a good job!
Grate job demenstrationg clearly. And telling the yas and nays about moor or less lashings and frapings.
@DAN Hey brother, at 6:30, you need to step on the 3 poles and I get a great look at your shoe. Are you wearing "minimalist" shoes the barefoot runners are always looking for? You have dozens of videos I've yet to watch, do you have one on good recommendations of shoes you wear in the bush?
No-nonsense knowledge with a good dose of humor. Nice!
Such a great instructor.
Love the detail in your video.
Been using that one for years but I always like to see how other guys do things, never know when you can learn a better way! Keep it up and God bless you and yours.
so useful thank you brother... I had done similar set ups but not nearly as nice but I got it now can't wait to try it out.
Frapping Fantastic!!! Thanks
Thanks Dan! This was much more clear than in the Townsend's video. And I didn't know till now that the knot I use in sewing is a half-hitch! Mind blown! ☺️
Great, detailed demonstration. Congrats!
Well done! You have a real gift for explaining things that make them easy to understand. Much appreciated...I have subscribed.
Thank you! This video was so easy to understand, great for me, a beginner!
Thank you! Always wondered how to do this. I have watched your other videos! Great teacher!

The girls and I need to practice setting up a campfire.
I always weaved the poles together over-under-over when building my tipis.
Very clear, very detailed, and very systematic. The best I've seen (by far) on the versatile 7-notch trigger. Thank you!
Good lash. Well taught.
omg finally i found a video where someone tells me how to do this, ive been looking for freakin 3 years not knowing the right words to get this to pop up
Your channel is pretty good. I have learned alot about survival skills.
I legit just sat on the toilet and watched this for 10 minutes....I can't feel my legs lmao
Excellent! Haven't seen lashing done in a while so it's a good refresher. Thanks for sharing!
You are a good teacher. Thanks.
Thanks Dan for passing along great information!
You are a very good teacher
I believe the final clove hitch with the end tucked under the x is a constrictor knot. Good video.
Super helpful. Thank you.
Love this. Always wondered how to do this. Will be trying it out
What chain do you recommend if I want to suspend a pot over the fire by a tripod setup?
thanks you make things very clear and easy to follow .
Awesome video and explanation. I used that lashing for my quad pod that I made for a pendulum counterweight for when I made a better way to use my pocket chainsaw. Stay safe and be well. Thanks for sharing.
Great video ! Best explanation of this method I’ve seen.
This was awesome.
Now hang your Dutch oven from a chain attached to a rope. On one tripod member place screws or nails intermittently so that you can adjust your Dutch oven higher or lower. Happy cooking

Excellent - did not realize you did not want the poles to bunch!!
Thank you, this one is a critical skill.
Gracias, veo tus videos de hace un tiempo, y he adquirido algunas cosas básicas como mencionas y este febrero iré por primera vez al.bosque.
Gracias desde chile.
You left out the best part!! Going from lashed to placed upright.
Thanks for all the thought you put in your videos. It is simple but very effective when you out I the field and you need a tripod.
Thanks for the info, I've always just winged it with wrap after wrap. I did learn when I was small but then life happened lol and I forgot. Good one
Excellent comprehensive explanation of the process.

Thank you for this tutorial. I’m a novice to bushcraft so I found this to be extremely educational. I’m sure I’ll implement this.
Thanks again!
Excellent skill to have.Great presentation.Ta.
