Hi Tim, I have a question please mate. Do you make Fire yourself or do you use matches/ lighter for your fires? Is it difficult to make a fire by scratch?

[tim3jones]

@JoanBeatrington001 Some time i use a lighter and some times i make a fire by scratch.

[tim3jones]

@creedjeremy Yes.

''what did u use for the bowstring?''

''yes''

[omgso]

hey, iwas just curious. did you make knotches at the ends of the bow for the string or did you just use the pitch and tie the string?

@wagouche 14 days is a long time to wait, if i was in a survival situation i don't think id let it set for more than overnight. unless i had a second bow to use in the mean time.

but i have laminated things with hide glue before and in my experience 3 days is all it takes to cure (mind you it was setting outside in winter in Indiana, might take longer in say Georgia in summer)
