Today I went out to one of my locals, that is being worked (clearing trees), for a spot of wet weather fire lighting. The only thing I used to light the fire, that I didn't find in the wood itself, was a Web-Tex steel of fire. The tinder, kindling and fuel, all came from the surroundings. The firesteel let me don't a little, by coming free of it's holder, but I persevered and managed success. I will be making a bow drill video in the future and probably a wet weather bow drill video too.
It's a pretty long video, as it's from start to finish. Collecting the materials, lighting the fire, then clearing the fire site to leave no trace.
Hope you find it useful.
