Triple Lashing Hitch
Description
The triple lashing hitch uses multiple wraps around two parallel objects to bind them together firmly. It consists of a series of turns followed by a locking mechanism of frapping turns between the objects. The binding force is generated by the friction of multiple wraps.
Common Uses
Used in campcraft and construction for lashing together poles, building tripods, scaffolding, and camp furniture.
