CAMP TABLE 2

An alternative to Camp Table 1, this camp table is a combination of the steps in Bench with a Back Rest combined with a variation of the steps in Camp Table 1. Steps to constructing camp table 2:

1.Collect the natural resources, including:

a.

thirty poles approximately 1 m long,

b.

fourteen poles approximately 2 m long,

c.

two poles approximately 3 m long, and

d.

ten poles approximately 0.5 m long.

2.Construct the table by lashing together the four 1-m uprights with two 1-m poles and two 2-m poles.

3.Add twelve 1-m poles as a table top.

4.Lash the two 3-m poles to either end of the table using square lashings.

5.Lash the four 1-m uprights to the end of the 3-m poles using square lashings at each end.

6.Lash eight 2-m long poles to the seat and two 2-m long poles to form the backrest.

7.Lash the five 0.5-m poles to the sides of the table and lash a 1-m long pole to the other end. Repeat on the other side.

8.Then using the 1-m long pole from Step 7., lash two 1-m uprights using square lashings. Repeat on the other side.

9.Finish the end seats by lashing the final 1-m long pole to the top to form a backrest. Repeat on the other side.

This elaborate camp craft can take many hours to build, a lot of personnel and resources are required.
