Friction Fire Tuesday (FFT) - Weekly practice
Trying out a different pump drill this time. Was trying to reduce the size compared to my original pump drill so it'd be easier for beginners to use. This way they can learn the dynamics of friction fire-making without too much exertion (with a decent success rate).
Also, I show having to recover from a silly mistake like letting the ember roll off the ember pan (aka coal catcher) and dealing with an unexpectedly stubborn tinder bundle.
