Ghetto Wilderness?

Does the coal come off the spindle or the fire board? Thanks.

[NilezII]

The spindle & board seem to wear fairly equally, if they are the same type of wood. If the spindle is harder than the board, it will drill a hole thru the board. If the board is harder than the spindle, the spindle will just get blunted, and not produce much dust.

how tight does the string need to be, mine is really tight, and every time i do it, the stick flies off. What type of string should i use? ex: shoe string?

[NilezII]

Your sting may be TOO tight. The string only has to be tight enough to keep from slipping on the spindle. I'm using something like paracord, that I bought in a camping store. You can use anything that isn't too slippery or break easily.

i liked it but i wish someone would make a vid on all of the thing like this is a good tree take this and that and like that kind of vid

candle stick holder is great idea.

@TheHobojim19 the best kind would be 550 paracord or chain saw power cord

Why not just use the tinder bundle under the fireboard? Then the coal would already be in the bundle.
