Hi All,
Had great fun doing the family Bow drill at the Moot in 2011 and now hoping to do this on Monday with the scouts (I hope!)
I have a selection of drills from Buddleja Nice and streight and dry, I am off to the woods today to try and find some nice Bows...and some sockets. Have access to a lovely managed wood of Native deciduous with lots of standing dead wood (mainly Oak)
Its the fire board I am having issues with, an old question I know but what is best? and has anyone found any way of ensuring success? (yes cheating! as I would like at least one group of scouts to have success!)
Any info at all would be great, George I think it was you that ran the Family Bow drill? How long where your board and sockets?
Cheers in advance!
