...Ey up firebugs !
.
...Off up the mountain trekking again & gathered a few things to try a hand drill on the fly
.
...I was getting close but despite my best efforts the materials I'd selected just wouldn't give up an ember. I tried a different hearth but to no avail so rather than give up I switched to bow drill & even then It made me work for it.
.
...This is to be expected when trying to get unknown materials to work on the fly. some come easy but some you'll really have to work for so rather than abandon your attempt change to something else & keep going until it works, or you run out of options.
.
...Stay safe guys and I'll catch ya soon.
