If your lucky, you may be able to find a flint rock and use a knife or similar to create sparks to ignite tinder...
When using the bow & drill method, make sure the drill is made from a hardwood, oak, maple, cherry. Then the base board, where the drill contacts to generate the heat, needs to be a softwood, pjne, poplar, hemlock. The hardwood drill will build heat quickly and wear the v-notch down and form a hot pile of residue. This all needs to be worked out onto a very fine pile of tinder like a cotton ball with petroleum jelly, or dryer lint. As soon as the enbers hits, start blowing gently to bring this up to a flame.
When making the v notch, don't cut to deep, you only want enough space for the bot material being generated by the drill to trickle out onto the tinder. One other thing to remember,this is one of the most labot intensive methods there are if your not super good at it and can make it happen quickly.
Good tips. I'll try again one day.
For me it's an ongoing thing. One time it works ok, next time not at all.
