lashings and techniques
|
You master some basic techniques for pioneering.
- Tie the following lashings, explain what they are used for, and state the advantages and disadvantages:
- square lashing (kruissjorring)
- figure-eight lashing (achtvormige sjorring)
- shear lashing (vorksjorring)
- Rig a single and a double pulley.
|
In addition to basic techniques, you can also apply some more advanced techniques for pioneering.
- Tie the following lashings, explain what they are used for, and state the advantages and disadvantages:
- scaffold lashing (steigersjorring)
- round lashing (slingersjorring)
- half square lashing (halve kruissjorring)
- diagonal lashing (diagonaalsjorring)
- Rig a single purchase (third hand) and a four-fold tackle.
|
You master some specialist techniques to build pioneering structures.
- Tie the following lashings, explain what they are used for, and state the advantages and disadvantages:
- polypedestra / cloverleaf lashing
- tourniquet (twisting) lashing
- Japanese square lashing
- Build a deadman anchor that can bear up to 1800 kg.
- Tension a belly-slide or monkey bridge with a four-fold tackle between two trees.
|
|
Practice
|
You start small to experience how pioneering works.
- Make a mini pioneering object using small round wood or skewers.
|
You put what you have learned into practice and build a pioneering object.
- Build (together with your patrol) a simple pioneering object such as a bench, camp kitchen, raft, or climbing frame.
|
You master pioneering techniques sufficiently to build a complex structure.
- Help prepare and coordinate a complex pioneering object, such as a JOTA tower, bridge, or Ferris wheel, and prepare a construction and/or safety plan under the guidance of a leader or instructor.
|
|
Maintenance and Sustainability
|
The more sustainably you handle materials, the longer they last.
- Explain how to maintain and clean wood and rope.
|
You know how to handle your materials and environment sustainably.
- Inspect wood visually and by sound for wear, breaks, and rot. Explain how to store wood best and when to leave it outside or not.
- Apply tree protection and explain why it is important.
|
Sustainable maintenance of blocks and pulleys requires special attention.
- Explain how to properly maintain blocks and pulleys.
|
|
Forces and Materials
|
Good knowledge of materials and shapes helps you pioneer well and safely.
- Explain why triangles are stronger than squares in a structure.
- Name the parts of a block (pulley).
Tip: See here for information about what a pulley is.
|
With good material knowledge you can use more types of materials for pioneering.
- You know how to work with blocks and can also recognize the following items and know what they are used for:
- hand tackle (come-along)
- foot block
- snatch block
- becket
- gin block
- shackle (bow shackle)
- D-shackle
- lifting sling
|
To use materials well and safely you must know what the material can handle. This also applies when using trees for your structure.
- Explain what breaking strength and safe load mean and give simple calculation examples.
- Explain how and when to guy trees.
|
|
Safe Building
|
As always, safety comes first.
- Describe how you account for your own safety when pioneering and when using small pioneering objects.
|
You know the safety requirements for building pioneering objects.
- Study Scouting Nederland's safety guidelines for pioneering objects and explain these guidelines in your own words.
|
Apply responsible pioneering in your material use and working method.
- Apply rules for working at height and occupational safety (ARBO) during pioneering.
- Check the condition of your group's materials and know when re-inspection is required.
- Ensure that building and dismantling high structures is done safely.
