I thought it was time to make a fire with the bow drill without using any modern cutting tools.
For the spindle and hearth I used salix which usually works fine and the inner bark from salix was used for the cordage. The cordage was braided which I think works better than a twisted one, but i snapped anyway. I just tied it together with a reef knot and continued to drill.
The most time consuming for me to do is the cordage, so Iwant to get it right from the beginning. The weather was in my favor which helps a lot. It turned out that the material for the spindle and hearth wasn't that optimal but it worked anyway.
I ended up using my fire to cook a garfish that I caught. I like simple cooking so i just put it on the embers. Fish is cooked quickly so after about 10-15 minutes it was ready. Great taste, I ate the whole fish:-)
Hope you enjoy
