A Diagonal lashing is used to lash two spars together that are not in contact with each other and are between 45 degress and 90 degrees to each other.
The timber hitch is used to pull the spars(poles) together therefor it must be around both spars.
The ending clove hitch must be tight against the lashing. Tie the first half hitch of the ending clove hitch and work it tight against the lashing then tie the second half hitch and work it tight against the lashing
The ending clove hitch could be shown better without quite so much bumbling! With a long length of cord still in your hand, tie the clove hitch as two half-hitches using loops instead of trying to find the end of the cord and tucking in under the cord. Nice video, however.
Not bad. You might explain that this lashing is not intended for a 90 degree angle. It is meant for an acute/obtuse angle especially where the crossing members are not necessarily touching. The first couple of wraps allows you to pull the members together under tension. You also need to learn to tie a clove hitch as two separate half-hitches. Tighten the first hitch, pulling backwards against it to tighten , then tie the second hitch of the clove to finish.
hey i was just wondering if there was a simpler pattern to make for the paracord bracelet so that if you needed to you could quickly unwind it and use it right away??
@vandals88 i cant remember which one, but one of the sennett (sp) patterns is able to be undone simply by pulling on both ends (after cutting off a knot to secure it from this being able to happen)
it was tied similar (if not being the same) as the bugle strap
... ok, yes, it's the bugle strap. i have a piece on hand that i've been working on, it can be undone by pulling the active end
The timber hitch is great for quickly tying logs to drag, with additional half hitches going up the length of the log if needed. I always use a clove hitch on everything. great videos
Hi I have heard that we can make a triple pole lashing with this technique but I try to figure out how... maybe you can help me?

The ending clove hitch should be tied one half hitch at a time.
The first half hitch is worked tight against the lashing and the second half hitch of the clove hitch is worked tight against the first half hitch.
