Overview

Get in touch with your hunter-gatherer roots for the Live Off the Land Contest. Before modern technology allowed us to summon food from our smartphones, humans spent a great deal of time hunting and growing their food. This contest calls for projects that involve hunting, gathering, and anything else related to deriving sustenance from the earth.

Winners will take home a GoPro hero4, Biolite camp stove, Ecxogear portable speaker, and an Instructables prize pack. Entries will be judged on documentation, presentation, and originality of the Instructable.
