      You can put it to use whenever you want, it just depends on how willing you are to take the time and go outside, and prepare all this stuff with a knife and some sticks.

      That is the question that these vids never really expand on... which is frustrating! Its usually Hazel for the long thin stick and dry ivy for the bottom notch bit =) ... these woods are widespread throughout Europe and especially the UK!!! There are better woods for the bottom notched bit. The real question is what woods do not need to be prepared and dryed over days or weeks and can be used straight away if found dry enough... =) . Hope this helps a little bit?!

    The drill creates a lot of sawdust when it is spun into the hearth board. The friction from the spinning then starts to heat up that dust and turns it into coal.

    • @Jomster777
      @Jomster777 Před 8 lety

      Try something stronger, if you perhaps have some old, useless piece of leather lying around(e.g. a broken belt), slice that into a small string-like piece, and bring that with you in your next camping trip. I saw somewhere that you can even use hide from animals, but you have to kill them to obtain the hide(useful if you have no problem with killing animals for survival)

    • @Jomster777
      @Jomster777 Před 8 lety

      IF you are going to use string, tie them around together to make them thick, see if that works.

    • @Jomster777
      @Jomster777 Před 8 lety +2

      Silas Geworsky Shoelace will definitely be enough. just make sure it's thick enough(about 0.75 cm at least) and make sure to soak the lace in water to make it tighter and more durable.
