I've been thinking, what would happen if you put some sand into the hearthboard when you are trying to create an ember with a fire bow? [Not sure about my terminology there, but I hope you understand what I mean =]] It just occurred to me when I tried to brush some off my arm and it heated up...

Aye, we had a bit of trouble getting them to burn as well >.< Something we tried was mixing a little bit of lighter fluid into the water when we made the bricks O.o When we lit one the flame nearly took my eyebrows off :eek:

Anyone heard of these? My dad has a paper brick maker, basically a box which you put wet paper into, then compress it to a tight block. When its dry it ignites beautifully =D

Is it just water or what? I've never tried it XD Sounds like good fun though, can you do it with any tree?

When I walked out of this film with my mate we couldnt talk for about ten to fifteen minutes. After a while I sighed and swore and my friend asked me what was wrong. I replied "I'm gonna have to buy a HD TV and a blu ray player now." XD It would be so worth it to see when it comes out =D

I've watched it four times >.< I especially love how the Na'vi perform their hunts, from the way they hold their arrows and shoot their bows, to the way that they painlessly execute their prey. Its pretty awesome =D @Drew: The first Star Wars films were pretty good and the later ones are...

I'm in Swansea, hope to see you around sometime =] Regards, Alessio

Nice work =]. I am particularly impressed with the engraving, that would be my biggest problem I think, the fiddly bit. So to make it stand out you just rubbed coffee into the indents and wiped it all over with linseed oil? Pretty clever trick =]

http://www.primitiveways.com/ Has anyone been on this site? It has some pretty amazing topics, including firelighting, how to make primitive tools, useful materials (including glues and pitch) and even stuff to do with primitive skills, such as tanning hide and making containers (such as bags...

When I saw the title of this I thought it was going to be a thread about injuries to peoples throat O.o Still, its a shame that such nice blades have been damaged, but to what extent? Is there any chance of simply cutting the blade down (either towards the handle or into the actual blade) a...

Ah, i see. Come to think of it I did have some problems with my... spindle (?O.o? lol) slipping off the end of the two twigs. The string helped, but it ignited towards the end of it hehehe... Still, thanks for the tip =] Wait... do you reckon it would work if I just whittled the end of my...

I sooo wish I could do this >.< I love rabbit, its great in stew =D Where would you get training/ a license for this kind of thing? And what kind of weapons would you use? I'd love to give it a go and see it done with ferrets, could be good fun.

I might give it a shot, so long as I can get my hands on some goggles =D Thanks for the warm welcome everyone :You_Rock_ Hope to see you around!

Nice work, I like the tutorial style thing =] I tried lighting a fire with the three stick method. Basically the same setup but minus the bow. It took a while and I was a little tired at the end, but it was so worth it =] Why did you put that spike at the end of your... spindle is it...

Awesome, I'll just go around and steal peoples drive ways then XD Should have plenty after that lol

I didnt know you could knap glass O.o Isnt that a little bit dangerous though? Like, having glass shards flying around and stuff >_<

Ooooh, lots of people around =D I live in Swansea, and would enjoy spending a few nights with people who understand bushcraft a little more than myself =]. I know the basics of a few things, but it would be nice to meet up with a few people and learn a little bit more about... well...

Okay, okay, okay, I know what you're thinking: 'Why doesnt this noob just use the search button!?' I wanted to ask some pretty specific questions, so I thought I'd come straight out and ask. I did some Googling but I didnt manage to find anything exactly concrete to help me find what I was...

What, fire fire lighting? I tried it with a sheet of ice which I chipped to the shape of a concave lens =D Sadly it melted before my damp tinder managed to light >.< Slightly embarrassing lol
