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
