Good luck!

Its OK than if I'm under 18 right? (fingers crossed)

 

[DerekH]

Hmm, yeah, I guess, I should probably put that in there.

There, it's in there. A parent or guardian will need to contact myself or Uncle E to get your prize though. Can't send stuff like that to minors, so as long as they are okay with it, I don't see us having any issues there.

 

[mountainmist]

Thanks D!

One entry per person? or are multiple entries OK?

Does a bow drill fire count as a one stick fire?

I'm gonna guess if you make it out of one stick then yes it does.

That would be a big stick! Is there a size limit on sticks?

 

[DerekH]

One entry per person, no size limit on the stick. The rest is going to be left intentionally vague. Go to it with vim and vigor folks.

Hmmmm, can your one stick be made out of fatwood? That pretty much just feels like cheating

I think you could but do you think win with fatwood? Not very impressive IMHO


Sorry if this came off rude

I won't take offense to anything you say until you're at least 25. I just wanted to clarify what could have been a loophole.

I will have my entry up tonight!

Got some practice in today before I post an official entry.
It was a challenge using the Machax only for a one stick fire.
This split piece of firewood was dry as a bone too.
Using a wet stick is going to be tough.
Add night time and rain to the mix...this one's going to be a challenge for sure!

This was a fun one to watch. I'm pretty bummed I wasn't able to participate in the competition. I had an idea floating around in my noggin that would make some of the challenge a bit more.... challenging for myself. Regardless, I'm going to have to go out and give my idea a try as soon as I get a chance just for the heck of it.
