yep peashooter - just hits the zeitgeist bang on the nose !

And morphy - 40 is still in your prime

Once you hit 50 - things really start to go downhill lol

Extra Kudos to noc (who'd have thought he was a skinny ginger person !) for using actual trash and not just re-purposed plastic Thumbs Up

But impressive all round

Um, CA... I’m surprised that you’re surprised by how I look. Is this the first time you’ve watched one of my videos? What did you expect me to look like?

That could be an interesting restriction though. In this year's challenge plastic was used for cordage and as a pouch. Maybe in the next contest plastic of any kind could be deemed illegal.

Seeing as its such a ubiquitous and versatile material it may be the most realistic thing a person might make a trash sling from if you needed to but it tends to be a little too easy.

And I think its worth mentioning that both Zud and Peashooter were the last contributions to their respective challenges. So the idea that the first few always have the advantage is not true. Well done guys!
