I really like the Cow Hitch Square Lashing, although my first choice of materials to try it with was poor, so I had a poor initial result - I think the cordage has to be substantially less diameter than the rods, and not too springy to be able to wrangle the knot. I will seek out some better materials and have another go.
I must observe though that the photos are strangely huge and fuzzy - I had to zoom down to 50% to make them viewable, then I couldn't read the text. And I note with some small regret - though this is not asemery's fault - that Instructables has, like so many before it and so many no doubt to come, gone more corporate and you have to sign in now to download the pdf; with of course the oh-so-convenient sign in with Facebook/Twitter/Google, so that the data gathering needn't be even momentarily interrupted ... but I'll get off my soapbox now.
At least it was something I could view without being herded into the ubiquitous and loathsome youtube to have my digital pockets picked.
