Hand drill friction fire
superdav95:
It’s been raining here the last few days got bored decided to go into my garage and hand drill an ember. So here’s a quick video of a coal obtained using a hand drill. My materials are. A piece of Mullen that I picked the other day while scouting a tree stand location. Its been shaved of all of the fuzz and rubbed the upper third with pine/spruce sap for grip and purchase. The hearth board is just an old piece of popular about a half inch thick. The notch is widened toward the base a bit. I didn’t post the longer video showing the curing and prepping the notch or the burn in as it was too long to post. Would love to hear what other are using for their hand drill sets.
