One thing before starting a fire clear away any and all dead debris so as not to start a forest fire

beginings of a forest fire

Chuck Norris would just flick his fingers.

Real men don;t speak when they make fire.

awesome, i prefer a rock for a hand hold. with wood it burns in and creates more friction and less spinning.
-
tough stuff!
-
i use lighter

Nicely done. About how long did the whole process take you, start to finish?
Also, you cut the notch AFTER grinding out a hole first? Can you just cut the notch right off the bat, and try to skip that middle step?

Double braid Indian braid for menby FREED0MRISING23,348 views
In my neck of the woods, just find an old pine stump (fatwood / fat lighter). Get a few small pieces. Pull out my Marlboro's and lighter - no good redneck leaves home without them - light the Marlboro, then light the fatwood and let the fatwood do the work.

@raz636man Of course Raz...please... lighters are great, but the real power and wisdom is having the knowledge to know what to do without them... -R

what are the best woods too use for the fire board and spindle ? Ive used store bought red cedar and it works but i ve had trouble with wood found around Montana.

@hawksucker69 I would try Cottonwood, Willow or Aspen in your neck of the woods... Good luck!

I can't get my spindel to turn? The string just moves around it without turning it! HELP!

The string is too loose. It needs to be pretty tight. I suggest 1/8 inch solid braid nylon to learn with, before attempting natural cordage... Good Luck !!
