The team must split the bolt, make kindling, start a fire, and boil the water. Contestants begin by splitting the bolt and making kindling. Contestants may make shavings for starter from the bolt, but only with the team's axe. No second axe or any knife may be used. Contestants may set the can and stack the wood in any manner they choose.
Time stops when water boils out of the can and into the fire.
There is no time taken and the team is disqualified if any water spills from the can prior to boiling. Team members will throw 4' long pulp sticks between 2 sets of stakes set 4' apart at opposite ends of a 20' long course. After the first team member throws all 4 sticks, the second team member throws the pulp sticks back the opposite direction, then the third team member throws as did the first and the fourth as did the second. If the team has not yet scored 16 points, the sequence begins again with the first team member. The team to score 16 points in the shortest amount of time is the winner.
