2012 Moot - olympic theme input wanted

[Tony]

Hi All, I've been thinking about the Olympics etc and last year we decided to have a theme for some of the activities we would have. So that we get the best options I thought i'd create this thread to get any ideas you might have as to what would be a good bushcraft olympics activity.

So, any ideas get them down here

 

[udamiano]

tandum bow and drill fire starting both are joined at the wrist with rope, so they only have two hands between them !

 

[Seoras]

Happy to run archery and atlatl for the Olympics.

Also bow drill. Start to flame. Quickest I have seen is 1 minute 3 seconds. Hay only used.

Cheers

George

what about timed wood witterling or carving

 

[kard133]

Javelin, to compete you have to carve your own before the throw? Tug-O-War?

Coracle races, carve your own paddle.
