thanks man, yeah I have practiced bow drill many many many times, so I thought it was about time to move on to another technique.

Generally always have kit on me.. albeit minimalistic have a ferro-rod and lighter and potassium permangate and glistterine... I never had to rely on Friction fire yet.. though do practice bow drill...

Certainly not to be relied on but just a personal skill quest

Hahaha oh yes!! It does.. pity I loose them lighters often.

Thanks.. Really does chew up the hands...

Been fascinated with primitive skills..
Finally got down a hand drill..
Here is my 1st hand drill ember
For reference I used what we call kakiebos (African marigold) and I believe an alder hearth...
