@DougDawson did you forget to bring these?
Love these, we used to get 12" long pieces of copper pipe, drill a bunch of holes in them and slide a chunk of garden hose inside the copper pipe… the colours (canadian spelling) were phenomenal!!
. Lol
Hey that hurts! I was born in England. True though. lol
WHO HAS WHO THEIR
Sorry @DougDawson, I couldn’t resist picking at yas a bit on the other thread lol
Thank you from Tammy Dawson I do love that view and area you got going there, though!
Lol, all good brother. Picked up some dried Mullen and Chaga mushroom in the forest, new hand drill and tinder coming
Congrats on the Chaga! Great find!
I was wondering about the materials you used to start that fire Doug when I saw that video. I imagine they’re fairly specific pieces.
Yes indeed. Around here I think a really good combo is a Mullen spindle and Willow hearth board. Very common and easy to find. If I were stateside I would be looking for those as well as Yucca and Horseweed. Yucca is like a gold standard in friction fire. Also Cedar, Bass wood, Cotten wood, Aspen or Walnut. Bow drill fires are much easier but with the right materials the hand drill is very satisfying. Taking 2 sticks along with some dried material for a tinder bundle and turning them into fire is alway very satisfying to me.
Wow it’s been busy in here
Making a friction fire is on my newly acquired bucket list.
It is so satisfying. Lighters make things way to easy. It’s an afterthought now a days.
Maybe a stellar example of each, because stealth fighter has disappointed me 2/3 times. The 3rd is hydro right now, so maybe that’s what it needs. And I guess the duck leaf version is really aesthetically pleasing, with big purple buds. Just lacking density and scent.
Man, popped in here and it’s been kind of slow. Wonder what can be done about that?
I’m sure you could think of a couple things
Maybe give away a few atv rides hahaha
Or some more Canadian vacation timeshares or do that IPhone->Tesla thing again!
I’m not impressed with the stealth fighter either. They sent me replacement seeds. We’ll see next go around. Maybe get something a little more stealthy
Not holding my breath. My German Duck, so far is on point. We’ll see come fall
Not that there was any doubt anyway but you can really see how much @DougDawson drives this thread when he goes on vacation
