Keep it Simple
- Start small! Rather than lashing with spars, start by lashing with dowels or small sticks. Once you’re used to the feeling of lashing, then you can try scaling up!
Take it Further
- What furniture would your perfect campsite have? A table? A couch? A swing? Make yourself at home at your next camp by lashing some furniture! What designs can you come up with?
