    Soaking wet bow drill challenge

    Well done, very impressive. I recently challenged myself to start a bow drill fire with willow i found on a dewy morning. That was rewarding. I will now try for fire with a damp set, ps have you had any luck with the fire plow?

    Not my first friction fire, I'm fairly proficient with hand drill, had success this week with mugwort on lime😃😃 Which is good because I can't find clematis in Yorkshire
