Hi Red
Hope it is not to late to put my entry in.
My design is similar to one of the cranes you see on large building sites (though a little bit dinkier).
Mark 1 needed a little support as the stick placed in the ground was not to thick and bent over when put under pressure.
A closer view of the point the two pieces of sticks join. I have carved out a hole with my knife so the two link together.
The whole thing was propped up with a forked stick without the use of cordage.
Mark 2
Carved another piece with a shaft that was stronger.
The vertical stick in the background is from my basic rig so please ignore it.
A close up of the carved notch and join.
And one more from a different angle.
I have set it up with a pot holder but you can just hang the Billy of the shaft. Also you can change the shaft for a thinner one and use it as a skewer which is easy to rotate for things like small game, sausages etc.
You can also rotate the whole thing to make it easier to add ot take off Billys etc and vary the angle of the whole system (i.e. the stake in the ground).
Cheers
George
Edit - P.S. I hope this type has not been shown on the thread before as I can only see about half of the entries. The other half are only showing a square with a red cross.
