the bow is not the easiest way and it actually needs a lot of fiddley components-the aboriginal way, still very hard work-with soft wood split base and hard wood (very straight) and the ideal fuel is dried wallaby/roo dung-its very light and friable-still even the indigenous people shared the stick twisting-you really have to do it for a while
String = from your shoes; if you wear shoes with no laces in the backcountry, I feel sorry for you.
Spindle = stick; a straight one will make your life easy
Base wood with hole = made with a camping / utility knife, which you should have with you any time you are in a situation where you might get stuck outside and need a fire.
This method is fast and effective, only takes a few minutes to setup the bow and spindle, and even people with the most sensitive hands can do this.
It's hard to find a piece of flint in the wilds. Easy to find a piece of quartz. Use a carbon steel knife blade, not stainless it won't work, and scrap the quartz. You got sparks. Find a pine tree, easy they are everywhere in the wilds, and collect some pine resin. Resin is full of terpines, flamable stuff. Resin, dried pine needles, scrap some sparks on it, and you got fire. Not just fire, but really hot fire from the terpines. Be careful as the terpines drip hot flames.
i cant get my dust to form int oan ember, and i bow for a logn time. any suggestions? This is something i must learn, all i would need is to find 2 sticks a rock and my shoe lace
Hey Guy, I like to use leather for my bow string. Wrap the string around the stick firmly. put the stick on your flat piece on wood (harth), using a rock or another piece of wood to hold the stick stable, move the bow back and forth, firmly holding the stick. But the key is to have a notch on the side of the flat piece of wood so that hot wood stuff is contained. plant dry flowering in your dry grass works best. I perfer to use to soft woods (cider, redwood, pine) Good Luck and be Safe!
btw, if i didn't have a base wood with holes, and no camping/utility knife...how would i make one with my bare hands?
just imagine the film cast away with tom hanks...
i find a stick...i can make rope (string) but i relaly dont wanna find a dry wood like he did in cast away =/
