Can anyone give me some advice,i,m having trouble with friction fire lighting. The problem is that when i use my bow drill the cordage wears through very quick. I,m using paracord.Is it my techneque or something else.
I have got an ember and lit tinder before with it, but still seem to destroy the paracord after one use, is this normal?
Plus i seem to get so deep into the hearth that the drill piece stops rotating. does this mean i should start afresh with a new part of the hearth.What i mean is do you have to start anew everytime you want to start a fire on a different part of the hearth.
There as clear as mud!!! :roll:
Oh and i,ve used various woods today was Hazel and it smoked great guns but still seemed to eat paracord.
Oh well over to you CHEERS STUART F.
