Description

On the count of 3, patrols race to build a tripod and then stand on it before any of the other patrols.
This tests their ability to tie a square lashing and a shear lashing

Resources

three 8-foot x 3 to 4-inch tripod leg spars
three 6-foot x 3-inch tripod support spars
six 15-foot x 1/4-inch lashing ropes
one 20-foot x 1/4-inch lashing rope

Instructions

On signal, patrol members lash the three 8-foot spars into a tripod, using the 20-foot rope.

When finished, they set up the tripod and using six square lashings, lash a 6-foot spar between each of the legs.

When all lashings are completed and the tripod is strong and secure, all the patrol members stand on the 6-foot spars, making sure their weight is evenly distributed.

Of course, this challenge lends itself equally, if not more so, to being presented outdoors.
