I am a second class scout with just the lashings to go and If I get to second class I will be going to makinak island and I’ll be in the barracks thank you sooooo much!
Dude, I don't care what day you post a video, you post it, I watch it, thumbs up it and comment on it. This one was actually a pleasant surprise. I might have a new video coming out on my 5 dollar snow plow I made tonight after work. I would if I could figure out how to edit.
You are building a very helpful video library for Scouts and bushcrafters with this series, Bryan, and you can see from the comments that they are starting to be used by Scouters out there. Thanks again for creating these instructional clips.
Thanks so much for this video I was very confused on how to do the lashings and then I found your video and I'm using it for some last minute studying before I go on a camping trip to get it signed off for my first class. Just make sure to keep up the good work.
+Survival On Purpose That seems interesting and would be very helpful to me especially since I still need some requirements to get first class. No pressure though do whatever you want.
I like learning about survival techniques/tips even though I most likely will never use them. I think its important to at least know some stuff though. Great vid
I don't have any trees in my back yard so I used that same lashing to make two tripods and then used two pigtail anchors to put up a hammock in the back yard worked great. thanks for the video it was nice to see that I did it correctly
I enjoy your video's. Release the video's on the day that is best for you, I will watch them whenever you release a new video. Have a good day and keep up the good work.
Survival On Purpose lmbo you sir are correct now my next issue is that its only 3 degrees out atm last weekend it was -24 below... Im not lashing anything together when my snot freezes:):):)
BRIAN, I'd like to see see a video on actual surviving if you find yourself lost or stuck in the outdoors somewhere. Do you plan on covering that topic? Mike
I'm not really sure I'm qualified. I've said all along I don't consider myself an expert or anything close to an instructor, just a guy willing to share as we learn together. If I can think of a way to do it without coming across as a poser I may try to cover the subject somehow. It would make sense to at least discuss it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great set of videos. When would you use a shear lashing compared to a diagonal lashing. They seem to be used for the same purpose of attaching two poles at non 90 degree angles e.g. teepees. Is the shear lashing designed to allow the poles to rotate? Our troop was doing fire reflectors, structures etc but I could never explain when to use the shear V diagonal lash
This is from the ScoutPioneering.com website. A diagonal lashing is used when there is a need to close a gap between two poles where they cross each other but do not touch. , the sheer lashing is “used for lashing together two parallel spars which will be opened out of the parallel to form sheer legs
I wonder if anyone has actually tried this while following the video. Really struggling to follow while trying to make the lashing. Moving onto the next video.
Nice video, but you did it differently than what the scout handbook says (2017 edition). The handbook says to wrap around both poles 5 to 10 times and then frap. The handbook does not weave the cord in and out of the poles.
You are right. Sort of. Like far too many things that come out of the National BSA, the book is contradictory. I was using the 2009 edition The TEXT says to "make 3 very loose wraps around the poles and then put 2 loose fraps between them" However, the ILLUSTRATION clearly shows the cord weaving over and under the poles. I went with the illustration although, now that you mention it, I think the text is probably the correct way. The photo on the page agrees with the text. Thanks for paying attention.
While this version of the shear lashing would work; the official version looks as if the wraps should simply go around both poles instead of interweaving between the poles like a tripod lashing.
Yeah, the BSA needs a proofreader. The photo and written instructions show it just wrapped and frapped but the step by step line drawing definitely shows it "weaved". I waws looking at that when I made the video. I guess either way should pass the requirement since a smart Scout coul'd make that case ;-)
This is not a shear lashing - a shear lashing wraps completely around both poles, it does not intertwine back and forth like you’re doing in this video
You are helping some boys in my patrol get to first class, thanks so much, your the best outdoor channel ever
I am glad to hear that. Thanks!
I am a second class scout with just the lashings to go and If I get to second class I will be going to makinak island and I’ll be in the barracks thank you sooooo much!

Nice refresher for us old Scouts. Haven't lashed in a long time but I use a timber hitch, taunt line and clove probably every time I'm out. Thanks
Brian West Glad you liked it. Thanks.

I'm glad to see that Scouts are using these too. Thanks for watching.
Thanks again for another how to vid. I'm only really getting into this in my later 30s. Never taught these things before. So thanks.
shared this series w/ my scout troop, for those who dont understand the drawings & words on the book. Thanks for a clear demo, Bryan!!
I appreciate it. That's one of the reasons I made this series.
Thanks so much for this video I was very confused on how to do the lashings and then I found your video and I'm using it for some last minute studying before I go on a camping trip to get it signed off for my first class. Just make sure to keep up the good work.
I'm glad it helps. I'm thinking about a large scale Boy Scout series. We'll see.
+Survival On Purpose That seems interesting and would be very helpful to me especially since I still need some requirements to get first class. No pressure though do whatever you want.
Survival On Purpose did you ever do it?
Thank you for making videos! These are a great help, as not many channels teach these things this clearly.
I'm glad they help.
To all my fellow boy and Girl Scouts, my apologies if your parent is forcing you to watch this while angrily shouting at you.

Good thinking.
Really great video! Thank you so much for helping me and my scouts!
Happy to help!
you are helping me with my first class
That was my goal. Way to go
I enjoy your video's.
Release the video's on the day that is best for you, I will watch them whenever you release a new video.
Have a good day and keep up the good work.
Thank you for making this video ! Im 1 Step Forward To Getting First Class!
Way to go!
Thanks for sharing Bryan - always good to brush up on these things - my prob is I never get enough dirt time to stay in practice...
Backyard time works too ;-)
Survival On Purpose lmbo you sir are correct now my next issue is that its only 3 degrees out atm last weekend it was -24 below... Im not lashing anything together when my snot freezes:):):)
I would have to strongly consider moving ;-)
+Survival On Purpose And to think I wanting to go farther north... Something has gotta be wrong with me :):):)
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching.
These videos are great! Can you do one about the poldo tackle?
I don't know
I'm in bsa and almost done with first class
Way to go
Does ur scout master approve of your name thickkid69, ur probably some 9 year old kid who doesn’t know what that even means

What kind of rope would you use
Thanks for posting this, my friend! -Dave
Thanks Dave.
Hi david
I am getting into, air riffle,shooting, and with only one hand, a set of shooting sticks is a must. Why buy when you can make on the fly?
Good idea
I wonder if anyone has actually tried this while following the video. Really struggling to follow while trying to make the lashing. Moving onto the next video.
good
+Pawan Kumar thanks
With your survival skills I win a exam
Cool
You are awesome
Nah. God is awesome. I’m just a guy with a camera.
What about a bowline knot?
