Nice refresher for us old Scouts. Haven't lashed in a long time but I use a timber hitch, taunt line and clove probably every time I'm out. Thanks

I am glad to hear that. Thanks!

I am a second class scout with just the lashings to go and If I get to second class I will be going to makinak island and I’ll be in the barracks thank you sooooo much!

You are building a very helpful video library for Scouts and bushcrafters with this series, Bryan, and you can see from the comments that they are starting to be used by Scouters out there. Thanks again for creating these instructional clips.

I'm glad to see that Scouts are using these too. Thanks for watching.

Dude, I don't care what day you post a video, you post it, I watch it, thumbs up it and comment on it. This one was actually a pleasant surprise. I might have a new video coming out on my 5 dollar snow plow I made tonight after work. I would if I could figure out how to edit.

Thanks again for another how to vid. I'm only really getting into this in my later 30s. Never taught these things before. So thanks.

Thanks so much for this video I was very confused on how to do the lashings and then I found your video and I'm using it for some last minute studying before I go on a camping trip to get it signed off for my first class. Just make sure to keep up the good work.

+Survival On Purpose That seems interesting and would be very helpful to me especially since I still need some requirements to get first class. No pressure though do whatever you want.

I appreciate it. That's one of the reasons I made this series.

I like learning about survival techniques/tips even though I most likely will never use them. I think its important to at least know some stuff though. Great vid

Thank you for making videos! These are a great help, as not many channels teach these things this clearly.

I don't have any trees in my back yard so I used that same lashing to make two tripods and then used two pigtail anchors to put up a hammock in the back yard worked great. thanks for the video it was nice to see that I did it correctly

BRIAN, I'd like to see see a video on actual surviving if you find yourself lost or stuck in the outdoors somewhere. Do you plan on covering that topic? Mike

I'm not really sure I'm qualified. I've said all along I don't consider myself an expert or anything close to an instructor, just a guy willing to share as we learn together. If I can think of a way to do it without coming across as a poser I may try to cover the subject somehow. It would make sense to at least discuss it. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks for sharing Bryan - always good to brush up on these things - my prob is I never get enough dirt time to stay in practice...

Does ur scout master approve of your name thickkid69, ur probably some 9 year old kid who doesn’t know what that even means

Great set of videos. When would you use a shear lashing compared to a diagonal lashing. They seem to be used for the same purpose of attaching two poles at non 90 degree angles e.g. teepees. Is the shear lashing designed to allow the poles to rotate? Our troop was doing fire reflectors, structures etc but I could never explain when to use the shear V diagonal lash

@SurvivalOnPurpose

This is from the ScoutPioneering.com website. A diagonal lashing is used when there is a need to close a gap between two poles where they cross each other but do not touch. , the sheer lashing is “used for lashing together two parallel spars which will be opened out of the parallel to form sheer legs

What kind of rope would you use

I am getting into, air riffle,shooting, and with only one hand, a set of shooting sticks is a must. Why buy when you can make on the fly?

Good idea

Nice video, but you did it differently than what the scout handbook says (2017 edition). The handbook says to wrap around both poles 5 to 10 times and then frap. The handbook does not weave the cord in and out of the poles.

@SurvivalOnPurpose

3 жыл бұрын

You are right. Sort of. Like far too many things that come out of the National BSA, the book is contradictory. I was using the 2009 edition The TEXT says to "make 3 very loose wraps around the poles and then put 2 loose fraps between them" However, the ILLUSTRATION clearly shows the cord weaving over and under the poles. I went with the illustration although, now that you mention it, I think the text is probably the correct way. The photo on the page agrees with the text. Thanks for paying attention.

What about a bowline knot?

While this version of the shear lashing would work; the official version looks as if the wraps should simply go around both poles instead of interweaving between the poles like a tripod lashing.

@SurvivalOnPurpose

3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, the BSA needs a proofreader. The photo and written instructions show it just wrapped and frapped but the step by step line drawing definitely shows it "weaved". I waws looking at that when I made the video. I guess either way should pass the requirement since a smart Scout coul'd make that case ;-)

This is not a shear lashing - a shear lashing wraps completely around both poles, it does not intertwine back and forth like you’re doing in this video
