Tripod Lashing

Tripod lashing allows you to pass between two to three poles, especially
when you make use of frapping turns. You also have to let the center pole
extend towards the opposite direction, and make sure not to wound
everything too tightly as it would affect the quality of your lashing. Take

note that trial and error is important here—so don’t be so scared of making
mistakes!

Instructions:

1. First, make a clove hitch around one of the poles.
2. Then, wrap at least 6 racking turns around three of your poles.
Weave them in and out to do so.

3. Now, make 2 to 3 frapping turns. Do so in the gaps between the
poles.
4. End it with a clove hitch, and make sure to cross the two poles
outside so that the tripod lashing could be completed.
