I wish to propose a friendly competition - all in good fun of course and in the interest of expanded bushcraft skills.
Tone - I hope there is nothing objectionable in this.
I will grant a new $100 custom fire piston to the fire maker who can product a coal in the fewest number of bow strokes ( forward and back counts as two strokes ) and who can provide video evidence of same, by say.... the end of January.
Any takers?
Oh....one more thing. If I can better the time ( not to worry, I am a Grandpa after all ) the winner sends me some English spindle and hearth wood.
