As I was converting my "TurtleJRK" stand from hardware to traditional lashing, I stumbled upon a variation for lashing the tripod. Instead of having he three poles laid out side by side as most do, I lashed them together in a triangular layout.
I had not used this in my years in scouting. It just seemed a more convenient way to keep the poles lashed together when not in use.
I searched the web to find out more about these type of lashing and the only reference was this old camp stool instructions.

I'm interested in if anyone else knows anything about it? Is there a strength issue I should know about?
