I did it :D

[NateJ]

My new knife arrived today, and in the process of waiting for the heavy rain to clear away I lost patience and decided to use the shed to try and get a fire started (Don't worry, I had a fire extinguisher ready!) using Maya Dust and a striker .... I did it

If only I can perfect it the next time I am out with Greg, else It's going to be an "I told you so" moment!

 

[Greg]

Nath...you've tried...you've succeeded....well done mate
Next time we go out..you'll succeed again...its just all about practice practice and more practice!!

If there are no photos - it did not happen!

 

[Greg]

If there are no photos - it did not happen!

Hahaha...oh John thats just cruel...lol

 

[Goatboy]

You keep repeating that mantra John, Along with what happens at the moot, stays at the moot!

 

[Dunx]

If there are no photos - it did not happen!

Usually the way things like this work.... And if no witnesses it didnt happen

 

[Greg]

I have a photo of a ghost dog John...but did it happen ??

[NateJ]

Haha ... If you would like photo's, then you shall have photo's ... Actually a video would be better, as I can't multi task!

If it's not chucking it down with rain tomorrow, I may be more adventurous and attempt to do one in the garden ... That will be interesting

 

[Greg]

Don't forget that preparation is the key to building a good fire Young Padowan!!

 

[NateJ]

Very true squire!

See what I can rustle up, be soaking wet from today's rain though!

 

[Greg]

I shall show you how to find dry tinder and kindling even when everything looks wet

 

[NateJ]

Here it is ... I dropped my tin of dust the other day, so started on my fat sticks instead

 

[John Fenna]

Well done that man!

 

[Greg]

Not a bad set of photos if I do say so myself ...good effort Nath, told you it wouldn't take long fella
What you haven't mentioned though is that you prepped birch bark and bamboo cane and got those lit too...!!
