Fire. Yes my friends fire. If you don't bear a lighter, gas, matches,
etc. what will you do to create a fire? Bronze age man has been able to
establish fires for heaps of ages. Well it's time to get back to basics.
Learn to incite a fire without few modern aids.
You already possess a
good knife. This will help you build your supplies. We are going to
acquire information to make a fire with a fire bow. This process uses
the cliché act of rubbing sticks without a break.
Find a stick the
size of your arm that is pliable just enough that you can slightly angle
it. Next you will need a spindle. This is the predominant piece of wood
that will be spinning, causing abrasion, and hopefully creating the
embers to create your tinder into a fire. Even breed from the trailer
park can solve this out. Do you want to get attacked by trailer park zombies?
Be
all set for some hard work. The pointed spindle should be two or two
and a half times the size of your hand. Take one of your shoelaces and
anchor to each end of the bow, largely tight and make a bow. Take the
spindle and in the midst of the lace twist once. now you need a flat
piece of wood with a notch cut into it for the foundation and an
opposing one to help keep the spindle in position. Cover the notch with
tinder so it catches the ember. Get physically lower on one knee and
lean on to the handle bracing the spindle into the wood dent. This can
take awhile don't give up. Work the bow back and forth, operating the
spindle for a while until you see flare then blow on the tinder nest to
flare up and transfer to your kindling and synthesize into an abundant
sized fire. Well done!
