barb figures prominently in a lot of my accounts here because although i've done the venture challenge for EIGHT YEARS, this is barb's first time doing it, so we did a lot of the stuff together.
in truth, she's often been along when i've been doing it, which is why it just seemed silly for her not to do the challenge herself.
anyway, we were on our campsite at mount ascuntney state park and build a tripod for your lantern was on our list so while i was making dinner (hotdogs, mashed potatoes and cheese in a dutch oven, thanks) she went and found some sticks.
and then, continuing to make dinner, i gave her instructions about how to size and position them, and how to start the lashing (she learned a clove hitch and now i can just say "put a clove hitch on one of the sticks"!) and then i helped her do the whipping and finishing, we used it all weekend to hold a plethora of lanterns inside the leanto and also to hang some kitchen tools.
very handy, a tripod.
