Today, we were introduced to the basic steps of setting up a flag staff. However due to lack of location, we were unable set up one.

The steps are as follows:

1. Tie two poles together using two round lash. Make sure that the overlapping point of the poles is 1/3 the length of one of the pole. If poles are of different diameters, make sure the thinner pole is on top of the Thicker one.

2. Tie three 5m long twines to the poles at the point where the poles overlap each other.

3. Then tie the twines to the pegs using the tent guy loop, making sure that the angles between the twines are equal and they should be around 120 degrees.
