Well, here we are, last 31 days of 2011, and man has this year gone by fast. Next year is looking quite promising, so, lets get this one started.
Ethan's December Challenge
We know that December is a busy, cold month for most, I know it is for me, and we wanted to give ya'll a chance to have a good contest, have some fun, but respect your time. Between family and shopping, it can get pretty busy, so this months contest will be more planning, with the actual work, taking place later.
Christmas Tree Shelter
Pretty simple actually, when Christmas is over, make a shelter out of your Christmas tree. Just your tree, nothing else. It needs to be able to fit your body in, and keep the elements off you as best you can. Its just one tree, we're not expecting you build a debris hut out of one Christmas tree, but build the framework of a good shelter, and cover it as best you can. You can do this inside or outside, makes no difference to me.
Be creative, and have fun, that's the point of this contest. Building the frame work is easy, but lacing your boughs in so you get the most coverage will help you gain some valuable experience in shelter building as well.
"I don't use a real tree" " I don't celebrate Christmas that way"
Fine with me, don't enter in the contest then. Thats the way it works.
Oh, and a sick twist, I'm gonna put a premium on those that use THE SMALLEST BKT THEY CAN. So, small knives count here fellas. Wanna use your BK9? Go right ahead. BK6? Hell yeah, rock out. But the guy that whoops this thing with a Remora, will be getting more style points, just sayin'.
So, just a quick recap before we get to the fine print, one Christmas tree, one knife, one shelter. Good, now, the fine print.
Must be 18 to enter. You are responsible for yourself and your actions. No one else is respsponsible for you, so if you can't pay for it, don't break it.
So, there might be some folks out there that are thinking, I use a fake tree, or I don't celebrate Christmas in that manner, and to that I say, oh well. You can pick up a Christmas tree on Dec.26 for about $3 here, so, there are options if you want to participate, just a suggestion.
This is a Beckerhead contest only, and you must be a paying member (Basic, Gold, Platinum, Knifemaker/Craftsman, Dealer) to enter.
No chatting in this thread, to enter, post "Beckerhead #xxx, Grinchin' it". You must post it just the way it is written, or you are DQ'd.
So, take your time, plan your shelter. Be creative, have fun, and Merry Christmas, ya'll.
Winner gets a BK2/BK11/BK13 combo set
Second place gets a BK2
Third place gets a BK11
Contest ends New Years Day, when I wake up and lock it. And I plan on having a hangover and a sore back, so......
