Pappy:
I made my first fire this weekend,I had wanted to do this for a while but just never took the time.Jesse cam down and I was caught up around the shop so we took a woods walk and he showed me what to gather,Cedar bark,a cedar branch for the bow and drill,then gave me a lesson on how to do it.It worked out great,after a little fumbling around I finely got it.Man that was cool.And
I thought building a fire with Diesel was fun. ;) ;D ;D

Way to go Pappy looks like your backward progress is coming along nicely. How long did that process take?Ron

Pappy:
Probably an hour including gathering the stuff to do it with. Got the coal on the second try.Maybe just beginners luck but Jesse said my technic was good and with a good set I should be on my
way.We gathered the stuff pretty quick. :) I plan on getting some better stuff as soon as I get the chance.I want to do one with just a hand drill but I want to get this perfected first. :)

Way to go, Pappy. You sure you didn't soak that spindle in diesel? I know you like your petrochemicals. ;D
