Fire starter.
This is a fantastic team challenge as part of a camping trip where solving the puzzle earns them their food.
Suspend a rope between two large trees 15 - 20 foot above the ground and attach a bag containing their food for their evening meal.
Give the group one box of matches and a dry news paper and then tell them they have to make a fire that is big enough to burn down their fod so it can be coked.
They hen have to collect fire wood ad build a fire.
After they have got it quite large they relise they may nee to tink laterally to achieve te task.
The best solution is to light a small fire and then find a long branch which you light one ed and simply hold it under the rpe bringing the food down.
This solution normally takes a group an hour and a half to a two hours to work out.
I have used this many times and it is always a great start to a camping trip and the best meal afterwards because they feel they earnt it.
Must haves:Â
You need to make sure you have permission to do this.
You need enough people spotting that it is done safely.
You need water to extinguise the fire to hand if required.Â
You need a camera as there will be some great photo opportunities.
