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.

As we travel through the world we often want to carry stuff with us.  When your hands aren't enough, it's time to build something to help.  Let's make a basket from tree bark!  This BB could also count towards the PEP Weave a Basket BB.

 
 

Here's one way to do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Make a basket from strips of bark
  - You don't need to harvest/make the strips of bark
  - Tight enough gaps to hold dry beans
  - At least 8 inches wide and 6 inches tall
  - This bb can only use materials that existed 200 years ago

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - The bark strips you're starting with
  - The basket under construction
  - The finished basket showing its size meets the requirements
 
Squanch that. And squanch this tiny ad:
