Of Boy Scout Tripod Lashing With Table Attached Series Of Points Two: the lashings and how the webbing is attached to the legs must be tight enough to keep from slipping. One: the tripod legs must be spaced evenly from one another so the structure is well-balanced. They can be used again and again for a variety of Scout Pioneering gadgets. If they can be harvested from downed trees, great If Scout staves were, for some reason, to be cut in these lengths, Id say use them.ĭont go cutting up Scout staves) Good broom sticks are 1-inch in diameter and theyre available by the box full.Ĭut those up. This would be ideal, BUT, Leave No Trace and Outdoor Ethics dictate we dont cut these sticks from living trees. Its going to be rare to get natural wood on the camping trip thats straight enough and strong enough to furnish these materials. In actuality, its very similar to the self-standing garbage bag holder, but requires a more concerted approach. What Ive come up with is surely not original, but for me, its new, and most of all, it works. In the past, Ive given thought to this kind of campsite improvement, but could never think of anything that would really workuntil now.

The structure for the platform is square-lashed together, and then square-lashed onto the legs (stilts) of the tower.Square lash the braces (4m) to the legs (6m, stilts), with a diagonal lashing in the centre where the braces forms an "X".They should be positioned next to the holes so upon lifting, they drop into place in the holes. Lay the legs parallel and at the correct distance apart.Dig two holes dug for the feet of the tower for stability.This tower is assembled completely on the ground and is then hoisted into place with the guy ropes.

This is a Simple tower to build having only a few lashings.
