Wrapping And Frapping
Date of occurrence:
June 1, 2017.
Our youngest daughter has been bit by the outdoor bug and plans on building a shelter in the woods this weekend with the kids, if the weather permits.
She had bought cordage, but has no clue how to wrap and frap. Opa does and he passes his knowledge on to Kc and Leo, so they can show and help their Mom.
Both boys learn square and diagonal lashing.
Kc prefers the diagonal lashing, while Leo likes the square lashing better.
They practice and practice and finally get the hang of it.
When Opa explains what lashing all can be used for, they are blown away. Visions of chairs, shelters and more, crosses their minds.
And I foresee a lot more wrapping and frapping! Grin.
