I saw the coal on that second one and with that camera angle, really saw why the drill pumping works, pumps air right into the coal pile, Cool!. Got a new hat I see, the construction on it is different, I like it.

@Woodenarrows I've actually had this hat for a few years. It's a bomb proof Kavu I traded a friend out of. Excellent hat once it's broken in. I highly recommend them!

A never fail friction fire. Your demo's have been helping me learn. Thanks for sharing...

@IHatchetJack Sounds fun , I'll watch for it.I picked out a few of my blades to send you. One is really colorful made of whorehouse chert. If it didn't want to be called whorehouse chert, it should have not let them locate a whorehouse at the base of the hill of the quarry [in the middle of absolute nowhere Nevada ]. I answered you before you could ask. If it has another name , no one told me.

@pestleman1951 Soapstone and blade blanks sound great. I'd love to play around with them and see what happens! ...the movie reference was from a film I grew up watching and is largely responsible for charging my adventurous and curious spirit. It was called "The Quest" here in america, "The Go Kids" in the U.K. and "Frog Dreaming" in Australia. It's an excellent movie and is pretty unknown these days. No official DVD exists.

@IHatchetJack Wait what ? He wasn't calling you Hippie Cody ??? I thought it was an excellent jest. Guess we'll never know what movie you two are talking about.........Oh , bye the bye , I boxed up your soapstone today. Should get it early next week. Want me to throw in some of my nicer 3/4 finished mixed flint generic blade blanks I made years ago and never got around to finishing , for you to play with and finish ?? We can call them collaboration points.It's OK if you break them.No problem.

@IHatchetJack sorry dude i had a few cans of red stripe that night : ) have a good week and thanks for the quality vids..

[IHatchetJack]

@MrDamnugly heh..I just got to this comment. I think some folks, including myself at first, though you were calling me Cody Lundin the barefoot viking from dual survival. Only you and I know what you were really referring to! Donkagen! Man, what a great movie!

@pestleman1951 No war started. It's good to talk about this stuff without ego and just hear what everyone has to say. I look at like like a book being constantly revised so new information and viewpoints are always welcomed and considered. As far as showing off goes...well....I mean you do have the biggest private pestle collection of anyone I know...show off... :)
