Materials Needed:

• 3 straight sticks
  (2 for upright supports, 1 for the top crossbar)
• Rope or paracord for lashings
• A towel and a couple of pots or pans to hang

Instructions:

1. Find two sturdy sticks to serve as the upright posts. These should be long enough to push a little into the ground and still stand tall—about 4 to 5 feet each.
2. Drive the two upright sticks into the ground.
   Place them upright, spaced a few feet apart. Push them deep enough into the ground so they stand firmly.
3. Place the third stick across the top.
   This will be your crossbar. Rest it across the tops of the two vertical sticks.
4. Lash the crossbar to the uprights.
   Use square lashings to hold it tight at each end. It should not wiggle or roll.
5. Hang a towel over the middle of the crossbar.
   This helps it dry cleanly and stay off the ground.
6. Hang a pot or pan from each end.
   You can hook the handles over the stick or tie them with a bit of rope.

Extra Tips and Safety Notes:

• Use dry, solid sticks. Avoid brittle or rotten ones.
• Don’t overload the crossbar—use lightweight cookware only.
• Make sure lashings are tight before hanging items.
• If the ground is hard, you may need a mallet or rock to help set the uprights.
• You can adjust the height depending on what you’re drying or hanging.
