Yeessss! I did it! Friction Fire!

<< < (2/3) > >>

Arthur Herrmann:
I got 2 blisters as well. I think, the dominant hand does more pressure, and the other hand does the speed action, though they both look like they are alternating and doin the same thing. My left hand is for speed, and I am delveloping caluses below the middle and ring finger.

hawkbow:

jamie:
making fire is magic brother. congrats. for those who havent gotten it yet. your trying to hard. have a conversation with somebody and spin the drill at the same time. before ya now it lots of char and a little more pressure and your there

Kegan:
Jamie- how in the world do you talk while doing the hand drill? I can't even explain what I'm doing while showing people- ask Art :D.

Congrats man!!!!! Goes to show, simpler is better ;).

Hillbilly:
Good job! Like Jamie said, fire is magic. It's a great and amazing feeling getting that first fire from two sticks. One thing that helped me was when I learned to pace myself until I started seeing thick smoke, then give it all you've got.
