Decided not to slack, so I spent the last hour making a friction fire... many many failures, but hopefully I get a FFF stamp of approval!
Soo here it is..
Planned on starting off with a Mullen/ clamatus hand drill set, that woodsrunner taught me how to use.

Well after getting some smoke and adding some pressure I snapped my first mullen twig.
So I started another hole with a smaller stick, got some smoke and again put to much down pressure.. cracked mullen II!

Decided to switch it up.
Took out my cotton wood bow drill set, and made a hasty bow.

Found I couldn't put enough down pressure on my herth board with the little rock bearing block I was using, got to wobbly. Also the board was to thick so I chopped it down, and tried again.

Still the small size of my bearing block rock sucked! So I tossed it for a hasty chunk of wood with wax.

That was the ticket!



Even with a good coal, the frayed jute twine I was attempting to blow light didn't go.. Didn't help I was trying to take pics at the same time.
Coal one Fail!
So back to the bow drill..




Tossed in some char cloth to seal the deal on this flame!


Added some stank breath and.. walla!


pitchwood

Feather sticks and twigs

Fire!

Took it outside to burn out since the wind was gusting around 25mph.

It burned on, and didn't blow out.. so I'd say mission complete!
Thanks for the challenge!
