Now that the heat and humidity has broke here in N. Florida I find myself making several fires a week. It's great fun with firesteel in hand and seeing what I can do. This afternoon I planned to make a firebow. I haven't done that since I was a kid in boyscouts.

I made an attempt this summer with my brother - and even with two of us we failed miserably!! We had a lot of smoke, but that was it. We melted through para cord and worked until muscle failure...

After some research, I think that our bow was too tight. I'll get it eventually though!

I got everything ready on Monday. However, the wood was still wet, so I'm letting everything dry for a couple of days. Maybe this weekend I can get it going.
