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.

Sometimes when we're hungry a fish just jumps out of the water for us to eat.  If that isn't reliably happening, it's time to do something about it.  Let's build a fish trap!

 
 

Here's one way to do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Make a woven fish trap
  - Gaps are smaller than a golf ball
  - This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - Some of the materials you're starting with
  - Fish trap under construction
  - Finished fish trap from a few angles with golf balls (or equivalent) trapped inside
 
The two armies met. But instead of battle, they decided to eat some pie and contemplate this tiny ad:
