Alright kiddies, here's one for the folks in the colder climes. Pretty simple, build a snow shelter. Don't have any snow? Well, you'll either have to come up with a suitable substitute or wait until next month.
No building code, but there are some specs ya'll need to adhere to. Igloo, dugout, snow pile with a hole in it, but you need to research it, and plan it out, and put a good effort into it, because, you got competition.
Yep, competition. Just so happens that there is one person that Ethan holds in high regards when it comes to building a snow shelters. Turns out, he's a BKT Mod, better know as THE BLADITE!!!!
Bladite builds a shelter pretty much every year, and I don't think this one will be much different. So, I suggest you either use him as a resource, our try to beat his ass like a drum. I suggest the whole resource thing, mostly because, you're gonna have a hard time beating him.
AND, if he want's to, he can enter in the contest on this one, and run away with all the prizes. Yup, ALL the prizes.
So, rules are simple, and to the point, make a snow shelter, suitable to sustain life, and do it better than Bladite can. You can use your BKT knife and 1 other tool. That is all that is permitted. REPEAT!!!! A BKT KNIFE AND ONE OTHER TOOL!!! I suggest a snow shovel, but if you make your too, you get extra credit. Record the temps inside the shelter, and out, though.
Must be 18yrs old, you are responsible for yourself, no one else is responsible for your actions, so, if you can't buy it, don't break it.
Contest runs until Feburary 1, 2012 at midnight.
Must post at least 6 picture, no more than 10, or a video no longer than 8 mins.
Show your work, and show your Beckers.
This contest is open to everyone, which means Germany, Norway, Sweden, Canada, and Maine. Anyone, from anywhere can enter.
To enter, post "I, <your name here>, Accept Ethan's Challenge" in this thread. NO CHATTING!! It will get you DQ'd.
The idea is to have fun, learn, and show off your skills, don't endanger yourself, but it might win you some big points with Da Boss if you spend a night in it. Its not a requirement, but I know Bladite does, so there.
What you gonna win?
Well, first place is a Mystery Prize. Mystery Prize? "WTH is that, Moose?" you ask? Well, it could be a new knife that is coming out soon, or it could be that I just haven't thought it out yet. I'll let you make the call that one.
First Place-Mystery Prize
Second Place- BK5
Third Place-BK11
With, one of my own special rewards, if one of the 3 winners of the contest is not a Beckerhead, they will recieve a number as a prize as well.
Ready to get cold? Brrrrrrrrrrrr....................
I hope so.
