| How to Tie Knots |
| The method for forming a tripod is similar to Shear Lashing. Begin by laying the three spars on the ground pointing in alternate directions. Make a Clove Hitch or Timber Hitch around one of the outside spars. Now take seven or eight loose lashing turns around all three spars and two frapping turns in the spaces between. Finish with a Clove Hitch on the center spar and hoist the tripod into place. |
