This is a good demo. To improve your future demos 3 changes to make. One, do the knot correctly, you showed how you like to add on to it. A scout, for instance, has to do the knot correctly, then you can add one the parts you feel make it better. Two, keep the knot in frame. Three, try using a form to holds the sticks stationary while you tie. Really, this was a good video.
Thanks for doing these, brings my back to my youth at Scout camp. For demonstration purposes you might want to actually use two sections of a large branch. The bark will give the rope something to bite on. Great work, keep it up.
now your ready to fight vampires...LOL. A great lashing method that works well in a survival shelter building situation. Allows you to get all you cord back as you move onto your next location if need be. Be safe out there!
You could improve the lashing by tightening it after each full wrap. Take a short stick, a pocketknife, multi-tool etc to use as a handle. After competing each full lash, wrap the working end of the line around the handle and pull hard to stretch the line and remove any slack. Repeat this process for each full wrap, after each two frapping loops and of course after the last wrap.
Please consider redoing this video without the extra wrappings after completing the lashing. Also the final clove hitch is not a clove hitch; it can undo itself from vibration from climbing the tower or crossing the bridge. A potential hazard.
There are mistakes in the video. On vertical piece, each turn should be inside of previous turn. The 4th wrapping turn is unnecessary. 2nd, two frapping turns are sufficient. The third turn is unnecessary rope allowing frapping to become looser, especially when laying over another turn. The purpose of frapping is tighten by bringing wrapping turns together, with 2 turns this function will have been served. If he had done it right, the finishing clove hitch would be on the other piece.
TheGuern55 when you build a tower for instance, the square lashing forms the square, structural . . structure. The diagonal is for the 'X' that provides support to the structure.
Satisfied....... watsup with all the comments if u tink u do it better why not do a video urself....... n why do u even need to learn how to do a square lash if u already know how to do it???
I think this is not such a successful demonstration. To begin with, it's not realistic just to be handling two short poles and doing a square lashing. Usually you'll have something in a more or less fixed place, and you will have to move your body and your arms, not the work. At minimum you'll have two Scout staffs, five feet long. This also undermines your ability to demonstrate it: It's moving in all directions quickly, you're undoing and redoing, you're all over the screen. Viewers are going to get motion sickness and not see the start and end of this. Redo this video with long poles in a stationary position, possibly with some limited zooming and angle work.

Great work, keep it up.
Could you flip the orientation around any more while you were tying it?

@mullensk8ter15 We produced the video intro and Joshua Peterson from Lark Studio's produced the music for it.
ITStactical, Your videos are amazing!!!!!! keep up the good vids

Awesome, I could see that being useful for building a fence/barrier. Thanks for another cool vid.
Wow dude! Your shirt brings back memories...
Leave a bit of a tail on the initial clove hitch and you can use it to tie a square knot at the end of the square lashing.
i have a camp in woods coming up this was useful
love these. gonna show some scouts this video
WHAT ROPE IS USED????????
wow square lashing is very useful to me
Which is the lashing without frapping

Thanks
Does it work with flat pole.

can the clove hitch be called fish hook knot?
Nice shirt
For the right way, see :
Square Lashing
Who made the intro?
is it hard to do for a 11 year old
so spiritual
Can you do it for me
Thanks! When would you choose Square Lashing over Diagonal Lashing?

waving that around wayyyy too much for me to see what the hell is really going on but a good vid.

I am a junior boys scout
No

im not satisfied with the way you lock the knot..if im building a scaffolding it surely collapse..so sad..
