Hand drill, the hardest fire by friction i have ever tried..
Hand drill is in my opinion the hardest way to light fire by friction but i had to try as i could not comment on its use and application as a method to light fire, its very hard.. Start the same way except on a smaller scale as bow drill the only parts you need is a long pencil thickness drill about 40 cm long and a board 10cm thick made from any of the prime friction fire lighting woods. Drilling the board in is as hard as getting a coal. i only tried to get a coal as its the same to blow any coal to a flame!!! i will let you know that it is very hard on your hands and i would not use this method in the field and would plump for bow drill. If you fancy a go at this give it some time as it is not a method that is easy to get the hand of but do not give up keep it up and hey presto you will succeed....
give it a go !!!!!!!!
see you out there Paul.........
i was chuffed to bits when i got a coal as you can see in the above photos
it's not hard on your hands if you use a power drill!!!! by the way preston where`s the £40.00 for the kit you never paid for???? phill bridgman
