Smoke, but no fire
We've been watching a lot of Survivorman on the Discovery channel. I was inspired to try and start a fire with a bow drill. I picked a good day to try it... 5 degrees, with a -10 windchill. By the time I had assembled the necessary bits Deb was half-way to becoming a popcicle. So we decided to try and start the fire indoors. It didn't take very long to make copious amounts of smoke. But I never got an ember, just lots of blackened saw dust. I'll have to try again...
