This is how I was taught to construct a tripod. I never heard of frapping and wrapping until I started watching bushcraft videos on youtube............

[@anoldmaninthewoods2548]

I've used a similar lashing. Rather than spin a leg, I take the center one and flip it. It is very strong, strong enough to use for a bushcraft camp chair...I've done it and haven't landed on the ground yet! Great tip, Dan!

[@joeday4498]

I love this series of short, simple, and to the point videos. Another great tool in the box.

[@briardpida]

Finally someone that actually understands that keeping it simple still works for some fast and dirty applications and shows it. Thank you Dan!

[@georges3242]

I haven’t built tripods before but I can see their value. This quick lash method is really ingenious and takes the “its too much trouble” out of it.

[@stevenreid2969]

tried it in the woods the other day .....works great .....again another great video....

[@kokopelau6954]

My Grandpa taught me that back in the 50's, he learned it in the 80's 1800's. Tried and true, woodscraft, as he called it.

[@PierPaoloG]

The genius in simplicity!!! Thanks a lot man! 😍

[@MutsPub]

216 pound test braided mason line, it stretches, it's cheaper. Don't hack up your paracord. This is an old school lash that is demonstrated. It is PERFECT for temp camps! The traditional tripod lash is over kill for most applications. It is however, strong as heck and you can take it down and set it up a gazillion times without retying. GREAT VIDEO! Thanks

[@ldsphotodude49]

Dang Dan I think your little man taught us that tripod lash a month or two ago.

[@Alex_Rosefur]

That just blew my mind how easy that is. Wow.

[@kevincull3671]

I bet that tip has saved at least a couple of lives!

[@constancemiller3753]

Dan is the master of simple, old school techniques: see triangle, spin leg. Done. More time for good in the woods🥩🥖🍻...next how to build a flamethrower for bugs?

[@SonsOfLorgar]

I've been taught to flip the middle leg over between the other two instead of twisting it the way you showed. I guess it's a case of personal preference more than functional purpose.

[@Ghost_Os]

Nicely done. I've even done this one with nettle cordage. I left it a bit looser than this, because obviously as strong as nettles are, paracord is stronger. Nevertheless, it even works with good natural cordage; I had no issues.

[@sunbladerr]

Thank you. Sometimes you are just needing a quick basic tripod. For base camp, make to last for years, but on the go this is excellent information. Be Well and Good Journey Richie.

[@devildogsbushcraft7898]

Outstanding! So quick and efficient, I don't think I could forget the technique if I tried. Thanks, and remember when ever you go into the woods; bring bacon! Corporal Kelly style. lol

[@rocketman3474]

Another awesome tool for my toolbox. Thanks Dan.

[@DriftlessWarrior]

Mind. Blown. Again. Another skill I can't wait to try out! Thanks!

[@keithamsden3093]

I used this trick (saw it in one of your older videos) on my last camping trip. It was sturdy enough to even support a 6 qt. dutch oven from. Love it.

[@bluehawke99]

Slightly off topic Dan, but I really like the new thumbnails. Great clean professional look. (In my opinion anyway).

[@jamesloughran9350]

Wow simple, and effective, love this guy, guess what i'm goin to do next time in the woods.? 👍👍👍

[@tomaslepp]

So simple a kid could do it. Wait, your kid already did a few months ago... Love it!

[@WildBikeCamper]

Great video. I was thinking about how I go about making the tripod with the least amount of effort, with the simplest knots, and you proved what I had in mind clearly works. Can't wait to try it on a camp soon!

[@markatkinson9963]

You did another one a while back that you laid the sticks out in a line and just spun the middle one. One of the best lessons I saw. Thanks for the video.

[@telegraph_hill]

Short and sweet video. Thank you!

[@Calibri57]

Haha! DUH! I feel so silly not doing this sooner! Thanks again for a great clip...always short and to the point.

[@gizmoteknodekker7060]

That's made my life so much lighter and easier... Thank you

[@streeterboyzoutdoors]

I'm getting so into this channel and learning something iv always been interested in is Bushcraft, I can make a quick teepee for the kiddos this way. HAPPY TRAILS Brotha

[@Geebee238]

A well sorted tool box of knowledge, keeping things simple. We have a saying here in the Aussie bush that goes something along the lines of....if it's too pretty don't touch it rubbish (kid friendly version.) Great vids mate, lots of applicable tools for our bush over here. 👍🤙

[@jerrybowman501]

Great info. I can even do that. My motto was don't remember the knot tie a lot. Instead I watch Coalcracker

[@brushbum7508]

Dan, so much for what I learned in Boy Scouts. This is faster & saves knuckles and getting the right tension to begin with. TAKE CARE..

[@edone1231]

okay - this one was new for me. Nice Idea! Thumps up!!!

[@edwardstagner1021]

I was watching survival Russia the other day he mentioned a story where some old timer was with his grandson and he had this huge cotton net on his head with big openings anyway he said it was soaked in diesel fuel and let dry and put in a plastic bag and it would keep the flies away. I wonder if some other oil would work and would it work on mosquitoes. that is the question ?I thought you might like to check it out ,maybe if you deem it worthy . Love your short videos and tips and tricks.

[@MillimeterMech]

Well done Dan!

[@bugoutbasics1070]

Keeping it simple. Thank you.

[@carrdoug99]

Nice public service. I think about this every time I see somebody due a full blown lash for a cooking tripod. Back in the early 70s when we would regularly carry a "dangle chain", we would take two wraps around the bundle, hook it back on it's self, then a full wrap between two of the legs of the tripod, and done. Never had one fail.👍

[@michaeldean5787]

Thanks for this. I am not familiar with a "dangle chain" but it sounds interesting. What is one exactly?

[@carrdoug99]

@@michaeldean5787 It's just a lightweight chain 4-6' long that hangs down (dangles) from the tripod that you hang your pot from.The same thing you would do with a bit of cordage and a marlinspike hitch. Except you don't have to worry about the flames with the chain.👍

I love your short to the point teachings. To the point and gets the job done! Thanks!

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

This is such a great tool. When you debuted this last fall I think it was, it was just after Cpl Kelly had built two tripods and a ridgeline pole to support a hammock. I wanted to do that but wanted to use this method. It worked great. For hanging pots and lanterns etc, one wrap around is fine. To support me on a pole I, of course, used larger poles and three wraps. Worked great and I was able to do it both tripods and the ridgeline pole without cutting the paracord. Great, great job Dan!!!!

[@WayPointSurvival]

That is a great tip. I like it!

[@MsIpodqwerty]

SUPER valuable thank you!!

[@marklittle159]

Thanks for the tools for the tool box

[@johnbensonism]

Very cool. I seen you did Something similar on a video before I was checking it out I’m glad you did this one thanks

[@captrockh2055]

I always wrap twice, an take middle pole an flip it 180 degrees, tightens everything up nice.

[@dylanauguste9312]

Just discovered your channel, and it’s already one of my favourite when it comes to outdoor and bushcraft. Straight to the point, efficients, useful tips! A big thank you from France

[@nothin6121]

Nice and simple but effective. Cheers

[@1mataleo1]

Another great way (for non-critical applications) is to use a slipped single or double constrictor knot. You don’t even need to twist the stick since you can make it very tight, and it won’t come loose. Also, it’s easy to get out since it’s slipped. I never tried the way shown in this video before. I’ll have to give it a go. I love learning something new. Thanks!

[@trailtrashoutdoors8173]

I first seen this done by Dave Canterbury and have tried it myself! Works great and is quick. Thanks for sharing Dan always nice to have a refresher

[@brianbachli8830]

Great tip! I generally use something more elaborate, but this is better. Much faster

[@EPGunman]

Cool tip sir thank you very much

[@aternst]

Great tip!

[@nowakezoneforever6021]

Dan published a very similar setup two years ago and I have used it multiple times since then...using the same original loops. Don’t be afraid to tie a larger lash in the beginning because although Dan has you turn one stick one time, if your lash is bigger then turn it again. I’ve done that, it works great. Also, if you tie a larger loop in the beginning you can always double it over like we do rubber bands to make it smaller. One of the many great things with Dan’s videos is they give you the basics to be successful just as they are, yet, they also generate other ideas and uses that he doesn’t discuss. Recently I’ve started building a bushcraft camp which means I’m sawing a lot of 2”-4” logs for walls, furniture, etc. When I started I simply made two of these tripods and use them as sawhorses. It’s much nicer than bending over all day. I’ve made tripod sawhorses of all sizes since then. You might be surprised how much easier it is to tie a square lash and a diagonal lash when using tripod sawhorses.

[@shenadojoe]

[@MrDknuckle]

Corporals corner done called you out Dan -- he did 60 reps curling a ridge pole for his 60th birthday and follows it up with "take that Coalcrackerbushcraft " so on your next vid you need to snatch a fully grown tree up by the roots just to show CPL Kelly what a real man does in the woods at 90

[@jeremywilfong8133]

Nice

[@ivan55599]

I was looking something like this for several years. I don't know what that knot's name is, but in that you have to turn it several times around those sticks, and make something special knot on them.

[@allanf4756]

Cool 👍🏼🙂

[@StoneE4]

Are there any advantages (or disadvantages) to spinning the leg, as shown in this video, versus the similar method of flipping one leg over the top?

[@SuperPangloss]

Quick and easy (like my girlfriends.....) just kidding! Nice little trick though.

[@apar1560]

👍👍👍 Thanks

[@us24575]

Finally simple tripod lashing; cheers. Would this work for shelter; doing tripod to hold bedding poles etc?

Hey Dan, do you mind me asking what quality / FPS etc this video was recorded in? The quality is great 👌

Thanks Dan. Taking my kiddo camping this week and we'll be building our shelter with two anchored tripods, a ridge line and two tarps. Tripods rock!
