Notch less hand drill

...Ey up firebugs ! . ...Playing around with the notch less hearth hand drill last night. . ...For this one you you basically drill straight into the hearth board as if you were burning the set in but keep going as hard as you can. Eventually the ember will form in the divot or on the end of the spindle or both. . ...Softer centred spindles work best on a slightly harder hearth board for this technique. I used beaugainvillea on Malayan cherry for this attempt & DO expect at least one blister & throbbing hands after. . ...Stay safe guys & I'll catch ya soon. . . #notchlesshearthboard #notchlesshanddrill #alternativefirelighting #bushcraft #bushcraftskills #bowdrills #campfire #flames #fire #instafire #firelighting #firebyfriction #frictionfire #frictionfireligting #frictionfirelightingtips #foraging #foodforfree #handdrill #nature #pcordfreeze #primitiveskills #primitivetechnology #primitivefirelighting #howtomakefire
