"Quest For Fire" was actually a good movie.

I used to make friction fires, but I took an arrow to the knee.

@pcjsleader Or you can be a woman and give birth to a "living breathing thing" that will eventually grow up and have the power to give birth as well. Thats being more like god then slamming to stones together..

Food for thought

@pcjsleader making a fire is as close as you'll ever get to being a man.

I want to learn how to make a friction fire because i feel like we take too many things for granted now days.

@seanmulhall I feel that. First time I made fire from friction took me a long time to figure out. I first heard that you can make fire from rubbing sticks together when I was about 5 yrs old. I tried right then with no success. Then I did an experiment in 6th grade with a dowel and drill which was smoking but unsuccessfull. I lost hope till I found out about the powder collecting notch. Long story short, I have been trying for a lifetime and at 27 I finally made fire by friction. It blew my mind

@Snbkr rough up the end of the spindal with a knife edge by dragging the edge across it (same effect as sandpaper.)
