why does every knot video attract clever-clogs disputing the technique? are all the knot teachers incompetent, or does knot-loving engender superiority complexes, or appeal to a certain personality type? i suspect no-one really knows how to tie knots and you're all making it up.
The beginning clove hitch should secured or stopped by wrapping the two ends round each other. If the clove hitch is not stopped it can turn around the spar allowing the lashing to loosen and fail.
There are mistakes in the video. On vertical piece, each turn should be inside of previous turn. The 4th wrapping turn is unnecessary. 2nd, two frapping turns are sufficient. The third turn is unnecessary rope allowing frapping to become looser, especially when laying over another turn. The purpose of frapping is tighten by bringing wrapping turns together, with 2 turns this function will have been served. If he had done it right, the finishing clove hitch would be on the other piece.
As @thomasgovier correctly points out, you're making the square lashing incorrectly. I didn't know that two fraps suffice, but I most definitely agree that on each wrap around the vertical (load bearing) post, the rope goes inside the previous wrap.
now your ready to fight vampires...LOL. A great lashing method that works well in a survival shelter building situation. Allows you to get all you cord back as you move onto your next location if need be. Be safe out there!

Thanks for doing these, brings my back to my youth at Scout camp.
For demonstration purposes you might want to actually use two sections of a large branch. The bark will give the rope something to bite on.
Great work, keep it up.
