How To Make A Tripod - How To Tie A Tripod Lashing Like a Boy Scout 

I'm glad it helped.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Oldtimer Lee Thanks! Youtouched on exactly my reason for making videos like this. I think we all can learn something from the Boy Scouts.

Chet Wysko One of the handiest things you can make in my opinion.

mack tightwad I'm glad you found it useful. That's why I did it. Thanks so much for letting me know.

You are welcome

I'm glad it helped.

I agree there are lots of ways to do things.

Sure you can do it. The tighter you make the lashing the less wobbly it will be.

Survival On Purpose Thank you! I'll keep that in mind.

jake28061 I appreciate it Jake. It's a very useful skill to have.

Lansys Outdoors Yep. Tripods are just really useful around camp.

William Phillips Thanks William. Stay tuned, I've got more Boy Scout stuff in the pipeline.

BladeSchool Basics win ball games.

I am glad it helped. That is one of the reasons I started this channel.

Thanks

I think a tripod is one of the easiest yet handiest little camp projects

@@SurvivalOnPurpose Yes sir, I agree with you 100%. A tripod is handy and easy. I’m 64 Bryan, and learning this stuff over the last two years has been wonderful. I’ve watched your videos on lashings several times. I bought some wooded property because I enjoy this stuff so much but then, me being me, got too involved with refining my base camp area. Well, that was finished about 4 months ago so finally I’ve been out there doing all the things you and the other great guys are teaching. The instruction that you and other people have put out has made my early retirement years absolutely wonderful Bryan. Thank you so much for all that you do.

new2survival I think a tripod is a very handy thing to know how to make. Thanks for watching.

***** I think a tripod is one of the most useful things you can make around camp.

Glad it was helpful!

Outstanding explanation

KennethKramm Thanks Ken. Have a great weekend!

Carlos Sepulveda Thank you Carlos.

Charles Larson Thanks Charles!

I am glad it helped

A tripod is just so useful for so many things. Thanks for watching.

You bet my friend, really like your video's... Keep them coming

Thanks for watching.

+Bill K. Thanks

+Mike B yes it does

Glad it was helpful!

+Kris Douglas yes it would.

Wow! Very cool.

Good for you for getting them involved in Scouting.

That is great to hear. I am glad it helped.

Thanks a lot!

It is a good one know

ckingclosur Thanks for watching!

+Jdevilist it is a very useful skill to have

Keith Lancaster Thanks Keith. I agree.

Thanks

You're welcome!

You are welcome

+KdawgCrazy Thanks. I hope you make a video of that.

+Survival On Purpose if the weather cooperates I'll film it all. After seeing that storm in Colorado my fingers are crossed. I'm hoping to burn the 5 inch firebox wood stove in the middle too.

+KdawgCrazy Cool. I hope it's great weather for you.

There are a lot to think of.

Kanzee I might do that, I'll see if I get time.

Thanks for watching.

+Gilbert Aranda I'm glad you liked it.

+Survival On Purpose that was the 1st video I saw u made ... I will see some more and I'm sure my son will enjoy as well

I hope you both enjoy them. I do my best to keep things safe for all ages.

Not really. Like I said, there are a lot of ways to accomplish the same results. This is just the way the Boy Scout Handbook shows and the way I've always done it. (OK, actually I never do the over/under wrap but I wanted to stay with the manual for this video) I wanted this video to be helpful to any young Scouts who might need some help with this requirement and, hopefully, be useful to everybody else at the same time. To be honest, I am not familiar with the Canadian Jam Knot or Mr. Kochanski's method of making a tripod. But I will be soon, I really like his teaching. Is it in his book? I'll have to look and see.

Survival On Purpose Man the Jam knot is where it's at for sure., especially if you use paracord for everything like I do. It really relies on the strength of the cord you are using, though. I remember when I was in scouts we used sisal rope and jute cord, neither of which will support using a jam type knot...probably why we "wrapped and frapped". Great demo, btw.

+Survival On Purpose Granted it's been a few decades, but IIRC when I was a scout the handbook actually showed it without the weaving of the wrap. In any case, that's the way I've always done it (and I've always been one to follow the instructions when available). If the wrap just encircles all three poles together (but lying next to one another to facilitate frapping) rather than weaving, the frapping will separate the poles enough to position them while making the lashing very tight. The only problem is that the frapping can be difficult to get between the poles if the wrapping is tight. Perhaps that's why they went to the weaving technique?

I'm glad it helped

Thanks Joseph.

Lance Cozad I'm glad it helps.

Eagle jon Thanks Jon. We must have been in Scouts at the same time. I only made it to Star and then got infected with that "fume" disease. Gas fumes and perfume ;-) But my oldest son is an Eagle and my 17 year old is soooo close.

Thats hilarious ! fume disease.

Jim Cyr Thanks Jim.

I'm glad it helped.

Thanks!

I think this was a RODE moviemaker wireless. I can't remember.

Thank you.

SPRINTZ Thanks.

Thank you 👍

Jake Riethmeier We just had our first meeting of 2015 last week and it was just a leadership meeting, so it will probably be a couple of weeks before I figure out the best way to do it. I'll let you know when I do. It will definitely be some sort of skill contest among the younger Scouts.

Bryan, just remember that award is in memory of Scoutmaster Dick Rabe. not RaybE kinda like the word heck cave I reckon. like RAY B..... umm or message me for my number if you want so as you can say it correctly. That's my Grandpa one of the finest men that ever lived. Buried in his Scoutmaster uniform and it was current too. He was our Cubmaster when he passed I was a Bear Cub.. But he was my town's Scoutmaster in the 70's for my Uncles and such and you know what, if Grandpa was still with us, even though we're all grown up.... Grandpa would probably still be the Scoutmaster to some degree if the kids he brought up in the 70's and 80's asked him too into his 80's. I mean I talk to my parents generation and they all refer to him as the Scoutmaster The man was a veteran that never got sent to a war zone, but he made a huge difference in the lives of young men he was a legend in the Lake Huron Area Council (which don't exist anymore). And every time I watch a video on your channel every single time I do... I remember that My Grandpa is STILL with us. He's just looking on from that great big Scout Camp Just North of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (no not Canada for any Trolls).....Thanks Bryan, thanks a million!

Sorry to sound like some whiny emotional sissy or any of that by the way.

Agnos Junior Thank you for watching!

I think the Boy Scouts is where so many of us learned a lot of real useful stuff.

I was never a Boy Scout as a child, I didn't get involved until my son become a scout, then I got involved

The_kid I appreciate your support.

SPRINTZ What a compliment. Thanks!

Cool

Nah. God is awesome. I'm just a guy with a video camera. But I appreciate it ;-)

Valerie this would be fine as long as it doesn’t move

I'm glad it helped.

Cool

im Slashing Thanks!

AS long aas it doesn't collapse

akamaddog mancuso Thanks!
