Where about were these taken Ash??

Your right about the holder is beautifully wound / woven.

Can you get any pictures of it in use (obviously if it's legal where you are to use it)?

And one last, but not least thing, any chance on a tutorial on how to make them??

I know, I am not asking much

You can't beat aboriginal craftsmanship. What a superb and elegant solution. Cheers for sharing that.

so how does that work I don't see how that tightens up enough to hold....
It looks very interesting....

This was taken in Pahang, mainland Malaysia. The native in the pictures is the fire piston maker.

It is going to be a while before I get back there. As for a tutorial I don't know if I have the time left as I am leaving Malaysia in a few months and don't think I have enough time left to do it along with all the other things I have to do.

I'll ask him but not sure if there is time to video.

you ever try the Hopi Bird Snare. it is a stick with lots of trap oops like this on it. The Gambrel Quail gets stuck in them, then the others come to the rescue only to trap themselves. Look it up on you tube, it really works.

Thanks. That is interesting and simpler for survival purposes. the other is bush craft.

I was thinking exactly the same.
