Lifting Rocks with a Guadua Bamboo Tripod
💪🌿 Natural Engineering in Action 🌿💪
In the rugged terrain of rural Colombia, some of the toughest jobs still rely on the raw power of nature. This handcrafted Guadua bamboo tripod is a perfect example of that.
Built by hand using large-diameter Guadua poles, this tripod is designed to lift heavy rocks straight out of a foundation hole—no fuel, no hydraulics, just smart design, a pulley system and natural strength.
Guadua’s remarkable load-bearing capacity makes it ideal for field engineering solutions like this.
