Packing with the Diamond Hitch: Spring Camporee

Post date: Feb 21, 2012 7:25:48 PM

At the Pickett's Mill District Spring Camporee "Packing a Pack Animal Using the Diamond Hitch" will be one of the competitive events. While the diamond hitch is fairly easy to construct it is not widely known except to Scouts who learned it while at Philmont.

We have prepared a short video (available here and at http://youtu.be/0vElyDf6mlA) explaining and demonstrating the diamond hitch. Also available are a powerpoint presentation and the relevant pages from the Boy Scout Fieldbook available as attachments to this page.
