Friction Fire

<< < (2/6) > >>

amateurhour:
I've done the flint and steel, ferro rod, and magnifying glass.

I got a piece of copper tube, caps, lead free solder, a wooden dowel, and some O rings this past weekend and I'm going to make a few fire pistons out of the materials to keep in my pack and give away.

It's the "easy" friction fire but it's a good backup to have.

sleek:
Love me some fire pistons!

willie:
Sleek, fiddler was showing his piston the other day, I gotta give that a try.

Scallorn:
Glis, no doubt i have weather on my side down here in TX! It is definitely not as easy to use a hand drill in wet weather, but i have been able to do it. And yes dried yucca spindles make a world of difference :G

Zuma:
I'm all ears, err eyes.
