Not the burning bit!
right now i have clarified that, (apologies if i get the terminology wrong)
i remember reading an article somewhere where the writer claimed to use the dust formed in the socket of the bowdrill another time after making it, he stored it in a rawhide vessel and literally filled the notch of his hearth gave it a few strokes and out came an ember
Has anyone tried this?
does it work?
is it worth storing it as a contingency plan?
i hope to nail bowdrill fire ignition in the next week or so
