small water wheel

Pretty cool. Now just hook it up to a generator. ;)

No plans for electric but it will power a rotisserie to cook a squirrel.

That is cool, Brian. Looks like a fun project to me.

I don't know, you might have a hard time keeping a fire going in that stream ;D

Looking forward to future pics with this one,
might be the next thing in "Got to have" outdoors gear!
"Two Fletch's super squirrel cooker"
Make it out of cheap plastic,that looks like birch bark. Hire a pretty outdoorsy type woman to demonstrate it in a slick marketing campaign,shoot a video and plaster it all over the web, or better yet, start a video series, hunting and fishing all over the world, "The Great Adventures of Two Fletch and His Amazing Spinning Squirrel Cooker", you get your game and cook it on the spot, you could be the next out door channel star, think of all of the money you could make!

Marc St. Louis,
I think a fire could be made on the bank or up on a elevated rock platform right in the stream. The wheel could also be easily made to spin by dripping water down from above. The "axle" has a extension on it to hold the squirrel (or whatever). If I get a chance this week I will see what I can do with building a heat source to cook over. Regardless it was just a novelty to goof around with.
Buffalo Gobbler,
No more fame for me! Still recovering from the fame associated with the Giant Yeti hunt!
Take care,
Brian

Grandson Michael and I messed around a bit fabricating this to spin the water wheel by our lean to camp. Not the best picture but you get the idea. We made the trough out of a split sunflower stalk. Water came from a gourd above and was suppose to be caught in the gourd below (catching the water did not quite work but the water wheel did spin). Still needs some "tweaking" but we got side tracked with other stuff (caught a snake, whittled some sticks, put up a wood duck nesting box, ate Grandma's cooking, packed up camp from last night. Real good weekend spent "goofing around" in the woods with Michael.
