PIONEERING
Fireman's Chair Knot
Description:
1. Begin by forming a loop in the rope, ensuring that the working end is on top.
2. Cross the working end over the standing part, creating a second loop.
3. Pass the working end through the second loop, wrapping it around the standing part.
4. Bring the working end back up through the second loop, forming a figure-eight shape.
5. Pull both ends of the rope to tighten the knot securely.
6. Adjust the size of the loop to fit around the person's body comfortably.
Uses:
- Emergency situations where a person needs to be lowered from a height, such as in firefighting or rescue operations.
- Allows for a quick and secure method of lowering someone in a controlled manner, providing support and stability.
Note :- Big loop will go under the Shoulders and Small Loop will go under the Knees
Man Harness Knot
Description:
1. Begin by forming a bight (a loop) in the rope.
2. Take the running part over the standing part to make a loop
3. Pass the running part to make loop
4. Pass the running part under the loop and pull it
Uses:
- It is useful to make the several loops on a running rope
- Creating a makeshift harness for lifting or lowering a person in an emergency situation.
- Provides a secure attachment point for ropes when constructing improvised rescue systems.
Bowline on a Bite
Description:
1. Form a bight (a loop) in the rope, ensuring the working end is on top.
2. Pass the working end through the bight from underneath, forming a smaller loop within the larger loop.
3. Bring the working end around the standing part and then back down through the smaller loop.
4. Tighten the knot by pulling both the standing part and the working end simultaneously.
Uses:
- Creates a secure loop that can be used for attaching a rope to a fixed object or for creating a loop in the middle of a rope without access to the ends.
- Useful in situations where a strong, reliable loop is needed quickly, such as in rescue operations or setting up anchors.
Draw Hitch
Description :
1. Begin by wrapping the rope around the object you wish to secure.
2. Cross the working end over the standing part, forming a loop.
3. Pass the working end through the loop created in step 2.
4. Pull the working end to tighten the knot securely around the object.
5. Optionally, secure the loose end with additional wraps or by tying off with a finishing knot.
Uses:
- Ideal for securing a rope to a fixed object such as a pole, tree, or post.
- Provides a quick and adjustable method of attachment, commonly used in camping, boating, and general outdoor activities.
DIAGONAL LASHING
How to tie :-
01. Prepare the Spares :-
Position the two spars so that they intersect at the desired angle. The angle depends on the specific structure you intend to build.
02. Start with a Timber Hitch
Begin the diagonal lashing by tying a timber hitch around both spars. The timber hitch should be tied near the point of intersection and should be snug to ensure a tight start. The timber hitch naturally pulls the spars together.
03. Wrap around one Fork
Follow the timber hitch round for three turns around one of the forks (ends) of the spars. Make sure the wraps are tight and snug against the spars.
4. Reverse and Wrap Around the Other Fork:
Reverse the direction of wrapping and make three turns around the other fork of the spars. Ensure that the wraps are tight and parallel to the previous wraps for a neat finish.
5. Take Trapping Turns:
With the lashing material running between the spars, take trapping turns as before. These turns help to grip the lashing securely and reinforce the structure.
6. Finish with a Clove Hitch:
To finish the lashing, tie a clove hitch onto a convenient spar. The clove hitch should be tight and secure to prevent the lashing from coming undone.
7. Check and Adjust:
Once you've completed the lashing, check for any loose or uneven sections. Adjust the tension and positioning of the lashing as needed to ensure a sturdy and stable structure.
8. Trim Excess Material:
Trim any excess lashing material to tidy up the finished knot and prevent it from getting in the way or snagging on objects.
West Country Whipping
Use :- Useful to secure the fraying end of a rope
Process :
01. Take thread or thin rope than the rope to be whipped .
02. Tie half knot on the fraying top end of the thick rope then down & turn the thread on the back of the thick rope and again tie a half knot.
03. Repeat this process 5-6 turns towards the inner side of the thick rope and finish it with reef knot .
04. Shave the end the fraying end and thread .
Make a Flag mast of at least three staves with your patrol
Material :-
01. 3 staves
02. Thin rope or coir
03. A cleat (small smooth wooden stick about six to eight inch long )
04. A metal ring
05. 9 Knotting ropes
06. A halyard rope
Method for making the flag pole :-
i) Join the Three poles one above the other .(Overlap 1/4 part )
ii) Use sheer to join together .
iii) Attach the cleat about 5 feet from the bottom of the pole by using square lashing .
iv ) Attach the ring using sheer lashing at the top of the pole .( at right angle to the front of the pole )
v) Insert the halyard rope through the ring and tie a reef knot at the end .
Hurrah!!!!! Now the basic flag pole is ready.
Making the flag pole stand :-
i) Mark the spot "O" and draw a circle around it with a string using 'O' as the centre.( Radius of circle is about 2 feet )
ii) Mark a point A on the circle directly behind the flag pole spot .
iii) Divide the circle in 3 parts and mark 'A','B','C' on the circumference of the circle at 120 degrees to one another .
iv) Fix pegs on these 3 points for guy lines .
v) Place the flag pole on the points 'O' .
vi) Attach the guy lines to the pole with a rolling hitch or clove hitch .
vii) Use round turn and two half hitches to tie the pegs .
BACK SPLICING
2. Back Splice:
This is used to keep the end of a rope intact from the unlaying strands. Tie a thread leaving about 8 or 9 cms from the end of the rope . Then unlay the stands 8 or 9 cms till the place where the thread is tied . Then tie a crown knot using the strands as shown in the figure.Tighten the strands firmly and uniformly. But it should not go beyond the thread tied on rope. Now after the crown knot unlayed strands are exactly in the opposite
direction of the lays of the rope. Here starts the actual work of splicing. Now you pass the unlayed strands through the lays of the rope up and down alternately. Minimum three times these strands should be passed through the lays of the rope. Follow the picture given for guidance.
