Just like I learned in Boy Scouts in 1970! Excellent job, good video production and smooth voice. Stay in the Woods!

[FrederickDunn]

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. :)

[EPGunman]

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

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!

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

*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.*

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.

[OryxTheDragon]

I've always wondered how this works. Genius.

[waynek]

Just used this for tripod garden stakes, placed in 10 gal containers to support my tomatoes and peppers. Note: these need to last from end of May to mid-November so I singe-sealed my 550 line.
From thus lash I can hang a pair (single line folded over) of hemp twine leads to twist support the vines as they.
Excellent tutorial - thanks for sharing!

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.

For over 60 years, I've always latched mine by tieing on one then making a figure eight.😁🤠👍✝️🇱🇷

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

[christopherbarthlow]

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.

[dinorancher]

Nice. Just showed my 6 year old how to do this and made a plough point last night. Stay outdoors, Dan.

[backwoodstrails]

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.

[ivannasha]

This was surprisingly technical and fascinating. I bet some people have been doing this wrong for 40+ years and never thought twice about it.

[tykobrising]

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.
