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.
Occasionally you, or your dishes, get a bit grimy. It sure would be nice to have a way to cut that grease and get them clean. Let's try our hand at making soap!
Here's one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- Make one pound of soap using ash, fat/oil and water
- Dry and ready for use
- This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- Ingredients you're starting with
- Midway through making the soap
- Finished soap on a scale showing weight
