How to Tie a Pole Lashing Knot

Video Transcript

Now I'm going to teach you a classic. This is called Pole Lashing. Its a great way if you want to bind together a bunch of sticks or an item, metal items, tools or whatever. As you can see here on the table, I'm going to use my Lashing to bind together here, a couple of my artist tools here, a couple of paint brushes, a pencil and a marker. There they go trying to get away, so I need to lash them before they run off my table. So what I'm going to do, is I'm going to take my length of rope that I have here. I'm going to bring it under my items. And then around over like so. And I'm going to pull out a little more length. There we go. And what I'm going to do, is I'm going to take it and I'm going to pull a bite underneath the rest of my working end. And we'll pull it over and through like this. And as you can see this creates almost an s shape around this. As I pull this tight, this will bind these. Now this really isn't enough to bind them together. So to finish this out, what we're going to do is we're going to tie a regular half not into it. Lets push this together to make it look a little better. And we tie a little half knot into it. And we'll finish this off by tying a reef knot into it. And there we go. A nice simple pole lashing.
