This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the Straw badge in
Traditional Skills.
When the snow comes, the wheelbarrow becomes a bit less useful. Let's build a sturdy sled to haul stuff across the snow with!
Here's something kind of like what we want:
Minimum requirements:
- Make a traditional wooden sled
- Strong enough to carry 200 lbs
- Ski tips can ride over a 6" snow ridge
- At least 5 feet long
- Include a rope to pull it with
- This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- The wood you're starting with
- Midway through making the sled
- Finished sled
