Lashing a Paracord Tripod - DIY Outdoor Skill

In this video I take some time to demonstrate how to lash a tripod together using paracord. This is an extremely useful skill to have in the outdoors as tripods can be used for endless situations. They are extremely strong when lashed properly, and can be put together fairly quickly.

Very cool! I will use this tonight at our Cub Scout meeting. We want the boys to create their own "kitchen" next camp. So a couple tripods that we can hang cooking gear from the center of. Then a pole across the top to hold a tarp and cover the cooking area. Ta-da!

Well done!!! I am building a tripod from 2" electrical conduit and pararcord to pull a well pump that is 300' deep. Oh, plus block and tackle. Thanks for a good lesson.

That hitch is one of my favorites. I've always heard it referred to as a constrictor hitch. Kind of an adaption of the clove hitch.

Thanks so very much for this careful, clear video. I bought a small tripod stool years ago that used a metal piece to attach the three pieces of wood. When that broke, I tried forever to find a replacement. I kept the leather seat and the three pieces of wood, trusting that SOMEDAY I would find a way to fix it. I think you have my answer. Can't wait to try it. Your video is a perfect example of internet use at its best. Thanks for sharing!

I didn't know how to lash them like this, I just wrapped all three stick a bunch of times and tied a knot and it worked. I made a video called field expedient shooting supports. And that's what I've used this tripod for: Shooting rifles with supports.

I like to tie mine with a single overhand knot usually, but I think both do the trick. One advantage to melting though is that the end it easier to pass through smaller openings (i.e. makeshift shoelaces, pack cordage etc.)

thanks for the video! I'm trying to build a stand for my camping hammock with 2 tripods and a ridge pole, needed a way to lash the poles. ps I've seen a couple of your hiking videos before, nice work

nice job! i use mine as a tripod/shooting rest for my hunting rifles. easy to carry through the woods and set up in a flash. they hold my rifle nice and steady to make a great shot

If you're simply using it for a gun support, you may try taking one of the legs out to make it into a bi-pod for a gun mount, Same steps, just remove one leg.

yea ive tried that before, just wasnt as sturdy as i would like so im sticking with the 3-legged version :)

Hi David, I'm designing my garden and will use your lashing for my bamboo tripods. I'm going to run a horizontal top bar too and will try and lash it also. Thank you, April.

@davidspassage 9 жыл бұрын

April Cortese Sweet! I'd love to see a picture of it when you are done. :-) One thing you might try is to use #36 bankline to lash the tripods. It tends to be a bit cheaper than paracord, and like paracord, will resist wear and tear from moisture. You can get it at some Wal Marts in the fishing section. It's sometimes called "tarred twisted twine". Here's what it looks like: goo.gl/0l6f2a

Burn the end of paracord to whip finish it to prevent fraying.

thanks David. I wonder if theres any way you could use two of these tripods to support a hammock; maybe a top bridging pole to prevent the two pods from closing together as you settle in for a summer snooze. must try when summer returns.

@davidspassage 8 жыл бұрын

+Aidan Gribbin I'm sure you could. You could easily also use them as supports for a raised bed of some kind. They are super strong.

Will the cord melt with a lighter to stop fraying? Might be better than a not.

I foresee a problem if you use this to hang something over a fire .

@davidspassage 9 жыл бұрын

tincoffin maybe a tripod this small, but I use bigger ones all the time to hang stuff over fires. What you want to avoid are flames that reach to the top of your pot where your dangling pot toggle is.
