Catagory – Friction The hand drill method uses a long spindle, hearthboard, and spark tray. Beginners will find it easier to attain success by using a thong fastened (mid thong) at the top, with a loop at each end to insert each thumb. This allows you to maintain constant downward pressure while spinning your hands at one level of the spindle. The time to create a live coal can be reduced by occasionally alternating the spindle angle slightly on the hearthboard socket. |
Sir/Mesdames:
I am just a beginner scout though i am old, but i like scouting very much and am tasked to introduce building fire without matches/lighters and also to introduce potless cooking. I do hope that with your help i could do the assigned task and also to impress our students.
thank you, and may the Lord be with us all.
