This is most commonly used to create shelters. It resembles another knot, the square lashing. Start by lying your polls together on the ground. Next, tie a clove hitch to one of the polls on the end, then wrap all poles five or six times. Now wrap your line in between each pole twice, working back towards the clove hitch. Finish by taking the free end and tying it to the free end of the clove hitch. Spread tripod and enjoy.
