This is the prototype for the @centralohiobushcraft puukko produced by @s.maxwellknives and I couldn't be happier with it.

This is just a tease, more photos and videos will be coming soon.

Did a 6 hour pit roast on a 13 pound turkey at the Did a 6 hour pit roast on a 13 pound turkey at the NW Ohio Bushcraft Campout.

It turned out amazing, like a super delicious rotisserie chicken. Every bit was moist and flavorful.

Everyone ate their fill, I'm sure I ate over a pound of turkey myself 😋

The solar still experiment was a great success! A The solar still experiment was a great success!

After the hole was dug, it took about 5 hours to produce 15oz of clean drinking water. Replenishing the leaves would be a 10 minute job and could probably be done twice a day.

There are definitely some ways this could be improved. The pit could have been larger allowing for a greater amount of green material. You're only limited by what you can dig and the clear sheet you have. 

That said, I believe this would work even better if the bottom could be lined and dirty water could be added quicker and easier than the leaves. This should work longer than the leaves and wouldn't need to be replenished nearly as often.
